The initial wave of national reports regarding Sean Payton becoming the next coach of the Denver Broncos said nothing about what he’ll be paid. At least one local report suppled that information.

That information, as we’ll explain in a moment, also may be incomplete.

Mike Klis of 9News.com reports that Payton will receive “somewhere between” $17 million and $20 million per year, on a contract that will last at least five years.

Payton reportedly had been seeking between $20 million and $25 million per year. The Dolphins were reportedly ready to pay him that much last year, when secretly...

The Senior Bowl has become the premier destination for thousands of draft analysts, media members, NFL coaches, scouts and more to get an early look at NFL draft prospects. The New Orleans Saints are heavily involved in this year’s Senior Bowl coaching staff with four members serving in various roles. That means the Saints brass is getting an up-close-and-personal look at what this year’s class has to offer.

While the quarterback class in Mobile, Ala. this year is a bit lighter than in year’s past, they will certainly be a focus for New Orleans. But so too will the trenches, running backs...

It is now 17 years later but a reporter still remembers the look.

On a sweltering July day in Jackson, Miss., the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints eyed a reporter walking on the grounds, checking out the setup for the team’s new training camp at Millsaps College.

The look said to the reporter, “You don’t belong here.”

Folks in Denver, get ready for the look.

There will be a honeymoon period, as Sean Payton returns to the NFL but that look, and the intensity that comes with it, will soon return.

In 2006, Payton transformed the Saints quickly, from a three-win team to one that...

The 2023 schedule for the Broncos includes a visit to the team new coach Sean Payton almost coached as of 2022. The 2024 schedule for the Broncos will take Payton back to the place where he spent well over a decade.

The Broncos gave up a first-round pick and then some to get coach Sean Payton, and they’re likely paying him a lot of money. It’s all worth it, for one very important reason.

When a team has a high-end coach, it gives ownership and the rest of the front office one less big thing to worry about if/when things aren’t going well for the team.

If a franchise doesn’t have a high-end coach, any and all struggles spark questions that include whether the problem is the coach. If a team does have a high-end coach, the team can worry about anything and everything else, if the struggles continue...

The New Orleans Saints offseason just got a lot more interesting.

The Saints finally achieved closure on the Sean Payton era when they finalized a trade that lets their former head coach out of the final two years of his contract and allows him to become the head coach of the Denver Broncos immediately.

Numerous reliable reports said the compensation that the Saints received from the Broncos consists of a No. 1 draft pick (No. 29 overall) in the April Draft and a No. 2 in 2024. The Saints also will send their No. 3 in 2024 to Denver. So the bottom line is a low No. 1 and an upgrade from...

Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson did not have a losing record in his first nine seasons. He is 10-19 the past two seasons, one in Seattle and one in Denver.

In 2022, Wilson had a career-low 84.4 passer rating with a career-low 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He took a career-high 55 sacks.

Wilson recruited Sean Payton to Denver, calling the coach during the interview process.

If anyone can “fix” Wilson, it’s Payton, who the Broncos named their new head coach Tuesday.

“Russell is a hard worker and has played at a high level and won a lot of games in this league,” Payton told Jeff...

As head coach-franchise fits go, this one couldn't have been much better. The Broncos new ownership group was looking for a proven head coach with CEO-type qualities to be the franchise's next leader. Payton was seeking a club with a track record of success and a strong...
