Imagine thinking the way to compete with KC is to mortgage the future for a QB who is vastly inferior to Mahomes, hire a lesser coach than Reid, and give up all your draft picks while KC continues to stockpile picks. :-)

Belichick and Gruden won the Super Bowl. Parcells took the Jets to the AFCCG

Sean Payton becomes the 4th head coach since 1997 to be traded in a deal that includes a first-round pick:

1997: Bill Parcells from Patriots to Jets
2000: Bill Belichick from Jets to Patriots
2002: Jon Gruden from Raiders to Buccaneers
2023: Sean Payton from Saints to Broncos

If you really think giving up a 1st and a 2nd for a coach is getting off easy then you are truly delusional. :-)

I made one prediction in this thread when the doncos traded for Walruss.

I'm going to double down on the same prediction.

This is not going to turn out how donco fans think it is.

🤣 just? You lose 5 year control on a player...

early Sean Payton/Drew Brees Saints will actually be kind of perfect for Russ. Tons of heavy play action concepts. The 2021 Saints with Jameis starting will likely have some carryover, too!

Remember we're getting a 3rd round pick back too. We probably swapped 5-10 spots on day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft. That's nothing.

Just got off the phone with Sean Payton. He's stoked about the chance to coach the Broncos: "Great fanbase. Great tradition. The ownership group is fantastic, and I love the way they competed last year. It's a great football city like we had in New Orleans."

More to come soon...

Who is more impactful for your team, Karl or Andy Reid? You can find someone to start on the DL for you. Coaches like Sean Payton aren't easy to get and will stay with you longer than 5 years.

Name the last 3rd round pick by Dungver that has done anything.

Timing of today�s two hires was completely coincidental. Broncos were zeroed in on Sean Payton, and didn�t make any contact this week with DeMeco Ryans or his agent. Denver was focused on Payton, and Houston on Ryans.

Clarifying: Broncos did NOT have contact with DeMeco Ryans or his rep since Sunday, per source. While Sean Payton, Jim Harbaugh, DeMeco Ryans were all at forefront of search at various points, focus turned to Sean Payton and Saints trade on Sunday, Monday and today. #9sports

Per source, the Broncos haven�t talked to DeMeco Ryans or his representation in DAYS.

Denver has been locked in on making Sean Payton their next head coach and got it done today.

Unless they fail to win any division titles and get bounced by the Chiefs every year.

Ah shucks, i'm preaching to the choir here. You know ALLLLL about that already.

Add Sean Payton to the list of coaches Mahomes will get fired.

The Paton and Payton Plan?

More on the @Broncos' hire of @SeanPayton ...

• Interview was in LA Jan. 17.
• Lines of communication have been open since.
• George Paton spoke 1-on-1 a bunch w/Payton.
• Denver LOVED DeMeco, but ship sailed last week.
• Jim Harbaugh was of interest but never got an offer.

Post something from someone that isn't a paid shill for Denver.
