No division in football has made more news the past week than the AFC West. The biggest news was the Broncos acquiring Russell Wilson in a trade with the Seahawks. Soon thereafter – seemingly in response to the Broncos’ upgrade at QB – the Chargers added former Raiders edge rusher Khalil Mack.
Those moves had a lot of people wondering how the Raiders might counter. They already had a strong edge rushing duo in Maxx Crosby and Yannick Ngakoue, but they wanted more, so they traded away Ngakoue for CB Rock Ya-Sin and signed free agent Chandler Jones instead.
If you’re looking for an answer to a team adding Russell Wilson, you won’t find one better than adding Chandler Jones.
