Jerry Jeudy followed Russell Wilson right out of Denver. Although he was an integral part of their offense, the future value he’s have demanded plus the trashy situation with Wilson’s salary cap lead them to get off Jeudy while he was at the peak.

But his exit was soured by a lot of veterans saying he was traded due to a lack of performance. Steve Smith Sr’s video, lambasting his Jeudy for the performances put up in Denver. And then came another hot take by former Bronco Mark Schlereth, who said, “he’s just not a great football player.” Although, the Browns did sign him for a whopping $41 million which says that they do have a lot of faith in him.

And with little to no success found in Denver, Jerry will be looking to change his fortune in Cleveland. Will he be able to showcase his potential or will the veterans stand corrected? It will be an interesting season to watch as he plays not for money but for pride and respect.
