Sean Payton To Sign With Broncos

[mattjames2010]

Ian Rapaport said Broncos wanted Demeco Ryans and tried several times, but when he signed with the Texans they settled for Payton.

Local reports are saying that's BS and they wanted Payton all along.

Who knows but it could be damage control because they don't want Payton or Bronco fans thinking he was 2nd choice especially when they had to give up draft compensation. I trust Rapaport.

Interested to see the compensation for Payton. Do the Broncos still have many picks to give up after the Russell Wilson trade? Could NO have lowered their demands to do right by Payton?

They got a first from Miami for Chubb

Why ain't the Cowboys trading like that, when was the last time the Cowboys got a #1 pick on a trade??

Good point. What did we get for letting Kellen out of his contract?

I don't believe Denver was his first choice. I believe Denver was one of the few teams willing to give up picks to get him. He's now hoping Wilson is salvageable. The Chargers GM probably told him to go pound salt.

Denver doesn't have a #1 this years so I guess they will be giving up at least their #1 for next year too, if not more.

I hope we can sign away Dalton Risner from them and really solidify our OL. He’s gonna get about 5/$45M, but we could swing it if we don’t sign Pollard.

A high priced OG in FA, whose not even an Pro bowler ? Nope ... that's not Stephen...

Tyler will either be the LG or OG will come by NFL draft .. and Stephen will seek out bargain based minimal vets for backup spots.

And i'm not banking on a Risner or one fo the most explosive RBs in the NFL

Already discussed. They have MIA's pick thru SF.

I have serious doubts as to whether Sean is as highly regarded around the NFL as he is on this site.

Ryans and Peyton polar opposite coaching minds , seems Denver didn’t have too much planning ( make Jerry look better , LOL )

 

[DandyDon52]

Must be really good money for Payton to walk into that disaster.

he said it was 25 mil a year wherever he went lol
so 4 years = 100 million lol
I would give it a shot for that!

 

[DandyDon52]

God only knows how much they’re having to pay him. Nobody wanted that **** hole job.

25 mil a year

 

[Proof]

I said that people were really selling Denver for short as a potential Payton destination….the owners are willing to spend and they have talent on defense and offense.

Low on picks but the talent to be able to trade players for assets if things get ugly. Also if anyone can fix Wilson it could be Payton.

But historically a well run franchise with good fans and deep pocket owners who wanna make a splash

only a destination because they got spurned by every other coach and are desperate. and every franchise in the nfl has deep pockets lol. they also don’t have any assets to move outside of maybe jeudy

 

[sideon]

Exactly. With the Saints having said they want at least a 1st round draft pick for Sean's rights I am not sure what Denver will give up but at this point (they have the 29th pick in this year's draft but is that enough???), as you stated, they have an overpaid crap QB and no legitimate draft picks for years.

Talk about a bad move for Payton.

Yes poor millionaire Payton

It’s one thing to have deep pockets and be willing to spend it….they said they wanna make a splash and they did. And please if you are desperate you don’t get Sean Payton….every single other team hiring a coach wanted him first.

 

[Flamma]

Denver is like a gambler that bet half their life savings on one spin of the wheel and lost. And now they're putting up the other half in an attempt to win it back.

desperation = willing to give up draft compensation. there’s a reason he said he was going to take another year off

Good for Denver. His resume aside, it’s highly likely they have a fate determined by their coach and mainly his decisions and execution and not his ownership. That to me is the first step of many where I’d predict success. They obviously need many other things but to me, it’s the right start. Sure feels like the most recent Super Bowl teams all are driven by the head coach and not the owners seeking credit and attention.

Word is 17-20M a year.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I'd laugh if Payton turned Denver around faster than Jerry. lol
