They’re gonna be very active in FA next month IMO. Lot of money is about to be spent fixing that OL [Reply]
Full answer from Sean Payton to @DMacRadio on Russell Wilson having his own coaches/staff around: “That’s foreign to me. That’s not going to take place here. I’m unfamiliar with it, but our staff will be here, our players will be here and that’ll be it.”
Desai wasn't the DC in Seattle, but he was Nagy's DC in Chicago his last year, and he wasn't retained nor did he get another DC job after. That speaks volumes. [Reply]
I was just getting caught up on this thread and came across Knowshit picking wins for next season. OMG the guy is beyond delusional. Undefeated at home?? 11-13 wins?? And possibly winning the division???? There's no way that he typed that with a straight face. Could they actually split with the Chiefs next season? Oh, I suppose. I mean, any given Sunday and the fact that the streak, sitting at 15 now, can't go on indefinitely. I'm not going to make any predictions until after the draft and free agency. Plenty can change between now and then. But I will say that there isn't enough that that the Donks can do to improve their team that much in one off-season. Not with their embaruss-ment of a quarterback, lack of draft picks, and lack of cap space. [Reply]
Sean Payton: Russell Wilson’s performance team won’t be in facility this year
One of the main topics of conversation surrounding Sean Payton’s decision to become the Broncos head coach has been whether he will be able to get quarterback Russell Wilson to play at a higher level than he did during the 2022 season.
The pursuit of that goal will lead the Broncos to do a number of things differently than they did when Nathaniel Hackett was their head coach. One of those differences will have to do with who will be in the building with Wilson this season.
Wilson has a personal performance team made up of trainers, physical therapists, and others who had access to the Broncos facility during the 2022 season. At a press conference in Denver on Monday, Payton said that will no longer be the case.
“That’s foreign to me,” Payton said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. “That’s not going to take place here. I’m not familiar with it, but our staff will be here, our players will be here and that’ll be it.”
Wilson having his own office and parking spot at the Broncos facility created more grist for the mill about his standing with the team last season. As Payton works to craft an offense that does more to highlight Wilson’s strengths, it appears he’ll be doing the same off the field in hopes of creating smoother sailing in Denver.
Wonder if Russell Wilsons contract allows that whole crew of douches access to the facility :-) [Reply]
