Serious question....

Broncos front office had permission to interview Payton, but is it legal for players like Wilson to reach out to a Coach still under contract? Is that not tampering in some form? 

I don't care if they hire Payton, but I would to see them docked more picks for tampering too, f*** the Broncos forever

I read somewhere that he had done it in compliance with the rules.

Denver:Superbowl Winning QB

Which one would bring you back into coaching , after a decade with a future HOF QB in Drew Brees 

We are not getting Payton

Apparently when the saints were “in the Russell Wilson” sweepstakes, they never placed a trade offer because Payton didn’t want him.

I can certainly understand Wilson or any quarterback wanting Sean Payton as their head coach. 

However, I am not sure Payton, who likes coaching teams that could be sure winners, would want to step into the mess that Denver has created.

The irony here is that for the last several years, Russell Wilson has been demanding more say when it comes to scheme selection, personnel choices and coaching staff decisions.  Of all the coaches the Broncos could hire, Sean Payton is the least likely of all of them to welcome Russell's input.

I don't care for Sean Payton but I'm all set and ready for him to be our new coach now as I do believe he will turn us completely around. With that being said I have never liked Russel Wilson and always felt he is a phony. Now with him recruiting Payton I think I dislike him even more.

Sean, come to a team with a late first this year (which would go to the Saints) and no second, no first or second next year.  $160m salary is guaranteed to a 35-year old short qb with a 2022 QB rating of 37.0  (ranked 27th in the league).  The other QBs in the division: Herbert and Mahomes--and maybe Carr.  

Russell Salary and poor performance + no draft picks + elite competition at QB in the division.  Sounds too good to be true.

After looking at that, I bet it is Panthers or bust for Payton this year. He’d be better off waiting if we don’t hire him.

Don’t they have their first in the 2024 draft?

I think they gave their firsts and seconds from 2023 and 2024.  The first in 2023 is from SF, so it will be late, and it will have to be used for Payton.
