The Broncos and New Orleans Saints have agreed to an agreement to be Sean Payton Denver’s new chief coach.
The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport first reported on Tuesday that the teams had gotten their hands on to a contract.
Sources have informed Robinson sources that Broncos will give the Saints the first-round draft selection in 2023. And a second-round choice in 2024 in exchange for the right to hire Payton. Who was still in contract with New Orleans. In addition, the Broncos will also be receiving an 2024 third-rounder as a return.
Just after the report broke, Payton told Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune that he’s looking forward to taking over the city of Denver.
The terms of a contract that was struck between Payton with the Broncos were not initially made certain.
One year ago, Payton stepped down as coach of the Saints. It was widely known that he wouldn’t stay away from coaching for long.
“Retirement, I don’t think is the right word today,” Payton declared after stepping down as reported by the WWL news channel on New Orleans. “I don’t know what’s next and it kind of feels good.”
In this particular coaching period, Payton and Jim Harbaugh were the most talked about names to teams. With regards to Payton It’s very rare to find an expert with his credentials is in the market.
Sean Payton had a great career as Saints coach.
Payton served as the Saints coach from 2006 to 21. Prior to the time Payton arrived in New Orleans, the Saints only had one playoff win in the history of the franchise. Payton had won the playoffs in nine games during his time during his time in New Orleans, including a Super Bowl.
Just a few years later, after Payton became a member of the Saints. They landed their quarterback Drew Brees in free agency. It’s hard to differentiate from the two, and there’s always the issue of which was the most than the other in determining this Saints’ success during the era of Payton, but his performance is fairly impressive.
Payton was 152-89 for the Saints. The Saints never had a record lower than 7-9 under his guidance and had nine seasons of two-digit wins. New Orleans never had anything similar to this amount of success prior to Payton. The Saints defeated them to the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV towards the end of 2009’s season to win its first-ever title in the franchise’s history.
When teams are hiring an assistant coach. It’s difficult to find someone who has more than 60 games above .500 and also has the Super Bowl ring. Payton was only one year in the NFL, and was working for Fox Sports, so it’s not like he’s been away from the field for in a long period of time. It just was a distant memory. Payton was reportedly developing his new team of assistants. After the offseason had begun Payton was approached by several teams keen on bringing him back from his short absence from coaching, with the Saints being the sole owners of his rights and being able to receive compensation for trades if he were recruited by a different team.
Payton who is 59 was not ready to go off the field for good.
