NFL fans brutally roast Broncos star as Denver signs ex-Cowboys QB from XFL - "Russell Wilson to the USFL"

Dwayne Johnson had envisioned the XFL as a path to the NFL, and for Ben Dinucci, it has turned out to be exactly that. Dinucci has now secured a spot with the Denver Broncos and will share a room with Russell Wilson.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Dinucci's impressive performance at mini-camp led to him being signed by the Broncos. While there is no quarterback competition for Wilson in Denver, fans have taken to social media to troll him following Dinucci's signing.

Many fans want Dinucci to replace Wilson as the Broncos' starting quarterback, as evidenced by their tweets. However, this is highly unlikely to happen. It is probable that Sean Payton signed Dinucci simply to strengthen the quarterback room.

Russell Wilson needs a bounce-back year in Denver

Denver Broncos v Baltimore Ravens

With Wilson swapping Seattle for Denver last offseason, many thought the Broncos were in Super Bowl contention, but it was quickly apparent that they weren't.

Wilson went 4-11 as the starter, resulting in coach Nathaniel Hackett losing his job. The offense was the worst in the NFL for points scored per game (just 16.9).

Now with Sean Payton at the helm, there is fresh optimism that Denver can mount a challenge in the AFC, but that is predicated on Wilson playing a lot better than last season.

Denver has a strong enough defense to be a legitimate contender for the Super Bowl, but the offense needs to perform.

While the signing of Ben Dinucci may not change anything for the Broncos, the focus is firmly on Russell Wilson to make a big comeback next season.
