This isn’t going to slow down any time soon. Sean Payton has been linked to the ongoing Denver Broncos head coach search by multiple reports, but that interest may be one-sided. At the end of the day, Payton has to actually want the job. The ex-New Orleans Saints head coach will have his pick of opportunities once the NFL’s hiring cycle kicks off in earnest.
Firstly, CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reported a shortlist of names on the Broncos’ radar — leading with former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn but including Miami Dolphins pass game coordinator Darrell Bevell, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy, San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Demeco Ryans, and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, plus Payton. Before you get started, yes, the Broncos have enough draft capital to make a competitive offer for Payton.
