The AFC West is home to plenty of star power, but could some of those big names benefit from a change of scenery?
Here’s one player from each AFC West squad who could potentially use a fresh start.
AFC West Players Who Could Use a Change of Scenery
Denver Broncos: Courtland Sutton, WR
The Denver Broncos are in the very early stages of a rebuild, and a quality receiver like Courtland Sutton doesn’t deserve to sit through the rolling cast of quarterbacks currently competing for a starting job. Denver should allow Sutton the chance to find a team that can maximize his skill set at this current stage of his career.

Las Vegas Raiders: Davante Adams, WR
Davante Adams may have stuck his neck out for Antonio Pierce to get the head coaching job, but the reality is that the Las Vegas Raiders may not be competitive in 2024. Should that happen, Adams (who is already over 30 years old) should look to get out and try to join his former quarterback in Aaron Rodgers in New York.
