Courtland Sutton Reacts to Broncos Trading Jerry Jeudy to Browns
The Denver Broncos traded starting wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday afternoon in exchange for a fifth- and sixth-round pick in April's draft, sources told Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer.
Jeudy's now-former teammate, Courtland Sutton, appeared bothered by the franchise's decision to trade Jeudy, as he posted the iconic GIF of Will Smith all by himself in the middle of his empty house from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Along with trading Jeudy, the Broncos also recently released longtime safety Justin Simmons and quarterback Russell Wilson, leaving Sutton without many familiar faces to begin the next era of Denver football.
The Broncos’ decision to part ways with Jeudy comes after four seasons in which he failed to live up to the hype as a first-round pick. He has amassed just over 3,000 receiving yards with 11 touchdown receptions in his four years in Denver.
Jeudy will now get the fresh start that he needed in Cleveland, where he will join a wide receiver room anchored by veterans Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore.
As for Sutton, he will now receive an even bigger role in the Broncos' offense in 2024 after hauling in a career-high 10 touchdown receptions last season.
