Ryan Clark Calls Sean Payton a Thug

If it’s a financial move (not wanting to pay) and not a performance based move, wouldn’t that be on the GM? Payton may not have even been the one to make the call. He wasn’t the one who agreed to the terms in Russ’ contract.
Is doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things nor does it matter in the court of public opinion, SP is now the face/HC of the Broncos. He is the one that is going to take the heat for this. He has every right to tell the FO “No”. He knows this will help his team in the long run, so I’m sure he was on board 100%. The NFL is a business 1st.
