When Russell Wilson signed for the Denver Broncos, Jerry Jeudy probably hoped this would be a season for him to remember for the ages. They already had a great defense, and a future Hall of Famer was about to join them after years of instability in the quarterback position.
But as we all know, it hasn't quite panned out that way. The Broncos offense is bad and is scoring the fewest points per game in the NFL. The first-round pick from the 2020 NFL Draft may already be looking to get away from the dysfunctional offense. There will be no shortage of suitors for Jerry Jeudy.
In a pass-happy league, wide receivers are a valued commodity. This is what separates great teams from good ones. There are quite a few teams that would love to have Jerry Jeudy on board to alleviate their own struggles. It would also allow Jerry Jeudy to get his career going at a place where his talents would be fully utilized. Here is a list of three teams that should be at the top of that list.
#1 - Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens are currently sitting atop the AFC North with a 5-3 record. They have got their with sensational quarterback play from Lamar Jackson with both his feet and his hands. They have a great tight end in Mark Andrews who is exceptional in the slot. But their receiving corps is not great, and that is putting it mildly.

Mark Andrews' shoulder injury that he sustained last week further complicates matters. There is also the added intrigue of whether Lamar Jackson will sign with them beyond this season. All said and done, if the Ravens are willing to make the best use of their quarterback's potential, the season is now and not in the future.
Having a wide receiver like Jerry Jeudy will definitely help them. It will make them contenders by having a player who can play deep and keep the defenses guessing when they come up against Baltimore. It makes the most sense for them to go and sign a young receiver like Jeudy, especially considering he is long-time friends with Lamar Jackson.
#2 - Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams are the reigning Super Bowl champions. But they are not having the best of seasons. They currently have a 3-3 record. And the reason for many of their struggles has been the lack of an elite wide receiver beyond Cooper Kupp. Far too often, Matthew Stafford has had to rely on Kupp as his only reliable target, and that is not a recipe for success in the postseason.
They were in a similar situation last season, too. The Arizona Cardinals seemed to be running away with their division before they made two crucial adjustments. The Rams got Jeudy's former teammate Von Miller to add bite to the defense. But more importantly, during the season, they also signed Odell Beckham Jr. The tandem between Odell Beckham Jr. and Cooper Kupp made them so devastating in the run-in to the Super Bowl.
Having lost Odell Beckham Jr. in the offseason, they need another wide receiver who can come in and help take the load off Cooper Kupp. Jerry Jeudy might just be the answer they are searching for.
#3 - Green Bay Packers
One of the stories of the season has been the Green Bay Packers, though not in the way they would have hoped for. They are 3-4 this season, and next up they play the Buffalo Bills, who are arguably the best team in the league right now. With another loss, the pressure will only keep increasing.
It is not too hard to see why the Green Bay Packers have been struggling. Having Aaron Rodgers is not enough if the offensive weapons are not there. Losing Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders has had a tremendous negative impact on the Packers. Additionally, they lost Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the Kansas City Chiefs.
This has left their offense toothless and the sight of Aaron Rodgers berating his colleagues on offense is becoming a frequent sight. They desperately need a receiver who can resurrect their season. Jerry Jeudy would be welcome to step into the breach and stop the bleed.
