Broncos set to hire Sean Payton as next head coach: reports

The Broncos are set to hire Sean Payton as the next head coach in Denver, according to multiple reports 

Payton has interviewed with multiple teams over the past several weeks after spending the 2022 season as an analyst for Fox. 

Now, the Broncos will pair a Super Bowl-winning coach with quarterback Russell Wilson after going 5-12 in 2022.

Because Payton stepped down as head coach of the New Orleans Saints following the 2021 season while still under contract, New Orleans could require compensation from the team that Payton signed with. 

The Broncos will send a 2023 first-round pick and next year’s second-round pick to New Orleans while Denver will receive a 2024 third-round pick from New Orleans, according to ESPN.
