Broncos DE Dre'Mont Jones wishes Drew Lock won Seahawks QB job: 'I wanted to F him up'

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks will wrap up Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season on "Monday Night Football," with Denver quarterback Russell Wilson's return to Seattle garnering most of the pregame headlines.

After Wilson was traded in March, perhaps the biggest question for head coach Pete Carroll and company was who would replace the nine-time Pro Bowler under center: Drew Lock or Geno Smith? After a lengthy battle for QB1 status, the latter eventually won the starting gig.

Broncos fourth-year defensive end Dre'Mont Jones had an interesting opinion on the Seahawks' decision.

Lock was selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft by Denver, while Jones was taken by the team in the third round. Barring injury or ineffective play by the Seattle starter on Monday night, the 25-year-old defensive lineman will have to settle for hitting and talking trash to Smith.
