The Denver Broncos offseason has started off, as Colin Cowherd likes to say about disruptive teams, noisy. Russell Wilson had his public exit interview with the I Am Athlete podcast, before getting released by the Broncos’ front office. Now, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is on his way out as well.
Denver has agreed to trade Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for fifth- and sixth-round draft picks.
While it’s a blow to the offense as it appears to take a new shape heading into 2024, not everyone in Broncos Country is particularly sad.
Denver legend Mark Schlereth has never minced words and he’s always willing to voice his opinion. Recently, he posted his reaction via Twiter/X on what he really thinks about Jeudy.
Transcribed via Awful Announcing:
“Hey guys, it’s your boy stink here,” said Schlereth. “And I’ve been telling you for the last two years what a bust Jerry Jeudy is at the wide receiver position. Well, today he was traded to the Cleveland Browns for a fifth- and sixth-round pick. And I got this from you guys all the time. ‘But he is so quick in and out of breaks. He’s a great route runner.’
“Yeah, he is open after the quarterback has already gone through the progression. And as far as a football player, he’s just not a great football player. Doesn’t run secondary routes well to attract coverage, drops the football, doesn’t block. Good riddance! Listen, that is not the kind of player you need here in Denver to rebuild this thing. I’m more than glad he’s gone. But I’ll tell you this, I’ll never forget you Jimmy Jeudy.”

It’s certainly safe to say Schlereth won’t miss Jeudy in Denver.
