Sean Payton already has an idea of how he’d start coaching Russell Wilson. The former New Orleans Saints head coach has made regular appearances on Colin Cowherd’s show after stepping down from his post, and with the 2022 season winding down speculation is already rife on how soon Payton could return to the NFL — and where. The Denver Broncos have made it known they’ll pull out all the stops to recruit Payton (as well as other big names like Jim Harbaugh and Dan Quinn), and they have enough draft assets to make it worth New Orleans’ while.
Wilson struggled in his first year in Denver, scoring a personal-low 13 touchdown passes against 10 interceptions (tied for fourth-most in his career). And his approach is startlingly simple. His adjusted net yards per pass attempt rate (5.27), which accounts for touchdown passes as well as sacks and interceptions, is by far the worst he’s posted in the NFL. So how do you fix a quarterback experiencing these struggles at his age (34)?
