Making Sense Of The AFC West
It would be the most aggressive of understatements to suggest the 2022 offseason has been phenomenal. It seems, since the moment that blue and yellow confetti dropped, there has been a fascinating development by the hour. The extension of Aaron Rodgers, tagged alongside the departure of Davante Adams, the release of Julio Jones, or Jacksonville’s spending spree.

Amongst this drama, thankfully not so much filtered through the return of Brady or Big Ben’s retirement, comes the AFC West. In my opinion, above all else, this story has been the most fascinating to see unfold as we witness a true arms race for the division – and potentially the conference. But let’s take a deeper look into it, and truly document the insanity of this division’s invasion of superstars.
