Sean Payton Business Ratings
saints: a
New Orleans coming out with a first-round pick in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft AND a 2024 second-round pick for their best head coach in team history is an absolute steal. Payton retired/resigned as head coach of the Saints after the 2021 season after looking around and realizing that life in New Orleans wasn’t so rosy without Drew Brees. Typically, a team trying to trade a disgruntled star player under contract generates a lower return than the team that parted ways with the star would have expected. However, the Saints were able to force the Broncos to dump two first-round picks anyway out of desperation. Phenomenal job from Saints general manager Mickey Loomis.
New Orleans will now be able to participate in the first round of the upcoming draft after it traded its own pick to the philadelphia eagles A year ago. This trade doesn’t fully correct that mistake as this pick will be in the bottom of the first round instead of the top 10 as his own pick would have been, but Loomis came close to the ballpark of what he might have expected by parting ways. with someone who no longer wanted to be a part of the franchise despite not having a huge amount of leverage.
Broncos: B+
This rating comes with the acknowledgment that the franchise has linked itself to Russell Wilson for better or worse with the trade and contract extension they made for him.
This was a trade-and-sign Denver had to make considering its heavy investment in Wilson. The Broncos gave the declining quarterback $165 million in guaranteed money, including $124 million at the signing of his five-year extension and $245 million, according to OverTheCap.com. General manager George Paton needs Wilson back in shape after having the worst year of his career in 2022 since the new ownership that didn’t hire him now runs the show. While schematically, Payton’s fast-paced, pass-rush offense that featured Drew Brees reading defenses almost exclusively from the pocket stands in contrast to Wilson’s best strength over the course of his career, his ability to create out of the pocket, The Broncos had to go looking for the most successful coach with the shortest quarterback in NFL history.
Normally, giving up this kind of loot for someone who isn’t even an active player would be somewhere in the B- to C range, but the Broncos get a B+ because they were able to complete a deal that positions Wilson to have the best chance. in a career renaissance. If Wilson can’t bounce back with Payton as his head coach and playcaller, that’s an indictment for the quarterback. The Broncos’ front office and ownership group can sleep easy knowing they did everything they could to succeed with Russell Wilson and deliver on his heavy investment in him.
