The long wait is finally over for the Denver Broncos as they are trading for former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter
Schefter is reporting that the Broncos will send their 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 second-round pick to the Saints in exchange for the Super Bowl winning head coach and the Saints’ 2024 third-round pick.
Payton will be the 20th head coach in Denver’s franchise history and will try to join Mike Shanahan and Gary Kubiak as the only head coaches in Broncos history to raise a Lombardi Trophy over their head.
After the Broncos started the season off with a 2-2 overall record, former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton jumped on “The Herd With Colin Cowherd” in October and explained that Wilson can be fixed.
“You correct flaws immediately, and then we don’t worry about how long the process is going to take,” Payton said. “In other words, I’d want a cut-up today of all of Russell’s pass plays of 30 or more yards from the field and I’d want to see, ‘Are there some schemes that he felt very comfortable with?’”
Payton also mentioned that he would like to see what Wilson did successful in Seattle.
