ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – When 34-year-old safety Kareem Jackson looked around the free agency landscape earlier this year, it was the arrival of another veteran in Denver that piqued his interest in a return to the Broncos.
The trade for quarterback Russell Wilson, 33, was “huge, just huge’’ in Jackson’s decision.
“You’re talking about having an elite guy under center,’’ Jackson said. “That’s what a lot of organizations hope to have.
“You’re talking about being able to put up points, [and] in this league, it’s everything. For an opposing defense, it could be a nightmare.
