They can put Sean Payton on HGTV with a sledgehammer in one hand, a hard hat on his head and a wrecking ball swinging in the driveway and he still will not say the word.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy celebrates his touchdown on the sidelines with Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton during the first half of the game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Jan. 7, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders took on Denver Broncos during week 18 of NFL season.
Payton understands this without saying it. The Broncos want to establish something that is sustainable, capable of creating long-term success, not a 9-8 record and playoff blowout. Regaining status requires purpose, patience, vision, elephant skin. This is why the timing is right. Payton cares little about public perception, operating without emotion in a silo. And owner Greg Penner supports him fully – seeking deep-rooted, annual postseason berths, not rabbit’s-foot-required magical seasons.
While the timing is off, they are on the right track. The Broncos now boast eight draft picks – including three fifth-rounders and two sixth-rounders, which could be used to land a bridge quarterback like Washington’s Sam Howell even if they take one in the first round.
