Success for Denver in 2023 will hinge on how significantly Wilson can improve upon a first season with the Broncos that saw him set new career-low marks in completion percentage, touchdown passes and passer rating. He preached time and time again for so many years I covered him with the Saints that he had to feel confident in team ownership and the front office.

The Saints and Broncos are discussing a package that includes a first-round pick in 2023 and a second-round pick in 2024 going to New Orleans with a 2024 third-round pick headed back to Denver. The two built one of the greatest offenses in NFL history. Though it was an unconventional route, the Broncos now have an experienced and successful coach who led arguably the NFL’s top offense during his tenure in New Orleans. Two days later, Payton and the Broncos have a deal. Last week, Payton refuted a report from the Washington Post that said he feared a “power struggle” with a member of Denver’s ownership group if he were to take the job with the Broncos, saying his meeting with that group had been “fantastic.” - Payton had a preliminary conversation with a member of Denver’s ownership group ahead of the team’s Week 18 regular-season finale and then had a formal in-person meeting with the team’s search committee in Los Angeles on Jan.

Broncos reach deal to hire former Saints coach Sean Payton (The Washington Post)

Payton will be the third coach in three seasons for the Broncos, who fired Nathaniel Hackett in December.

The NFL cited him for failing to do more to halt a system that provided players with payments for hits that injured opponents, a league investigation found. He coached the Saints for 15 seasons and won 63.1 percent of his games, posting a regular season record of 152-89. By last weekend, the Broncos and Saints had begun working on trade terms, according to the person. He took the team to the playoffs nine times and won the Super Bowl in the 2009 season. The favorites to replace Hackett initially were believed to include University of Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh, Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and former Stanford University coach David Shaw. It was a twisting search process for the Broncos. The Saints are expected to receive first- and second-round draft choices from the Broncos in what amounts to a trade involving Payton. They doubled down on the Wilson deal by signing him to a five-year, $245 million contract extension. Some issues arose during Payton’s interview, a person familiar with the situation said last week. He was out of the league this season while working as an NFL studio analyst for Fox. The Broncos, Panthers, Texans and Arizona Cardinals pursued Payton. The Carolina Panthers hired Frank Reich, the former coach of the Indianapolis Colts, last week.

The Broncos made their long-awaited hire of former Saints coach Sean Payton on Tuesday, with the goal of resurrecting Russell Wilson's career.

It's unclear how much interest new Arizona GM Monti Ossenfort even had in hiring the former Saints coach, too.

The Super Bowl-winning coach on the Broncos quarterback: 'I'm excited about him'

He's one of the world's best, obviously, a guy who has coached a Hall of Fame quarterback in Drew Brees, who was one of my closest friends and the guy that got to know across the league and so many other great players." Like Brees, Wilson will likely go into his first season with Payton with a chip on his shoulder to prove that he can still play. The gamble paid off, though, as Payton and Brees led the Saints to the NFC Championship game in their first season together. During his time in New Orleans, Payton's offense thrived thanks to Drew Brees, who made quick decisions while making nearly all of his throws from the pocket, which isn't exactly what Wilson is known for. "I'd want to look at another film of his red zone touchdown passes inside the 20," Payton said. "The pressure is on us to put a good run game together and reduce the degree of difficulty on his position. "I've been around him across the league, and I've played against them quite a bit. If Payton can figure out how to get Wilson back on the right track, the Broncos could be in for a fast turnaround. "You correct flaws immediately, and then we don't worry about how long the process is going to take," Payton said. At the time, the Saints took a huge risk by signing Brees, who was coming off With those comments, Payton definitely gives you an idea of how he'll likely start building his offense in Denver.

Sean Payton trade grades: Broncos pony up for Super Bowl-winning ... (CBSSports.com)

The Broncos parted with two top draft picks to acquire the head coach they hope can fix Russell Wilson.

Miami acquired the pick initially from the [49ers](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/SF/san-francisco-49ers/) as part of the [Trey Lance](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/2969444/trey-lance/) deal. [Super Bowl](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl/) XLIV, their only championship in team history under Payton's leadership. Now, Denver joins Miami as a team lacking a first-round pick in the upcoming draft since they sent their own first-rounder as part of larger deal to the [Seattle Seahawks](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/SEA/seattle-seahawks/) to acquire quarterback [Russell Wilson](/nfl/players/1272242/russell-wilson/). [OverTheCap.com](https://overthecap.com/player/russell-wilson/1569). This was a trade and hire Denver had to make considering its heavy investment in Wilson. This trade doesn't completely fix that mistake since this pick will be at the back end of the first round instead of the top 10 like their own pick would have been, but Loomis got within the ballpark of what he could have hoped for when parting with someone who no longer wanted to be a part of the franchise despite not having a crazy amount of leverage. The Saints and [Broncos](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/DEN/denver-broncos/) have finalized trade compensation for head coach Sean Payton, [according to ESPN](https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1620531082394472448?s=20&t=ci0mRioGzKETm-7usJ4DQQ), paving the way for the Super Bowl champion head coach to become Denver's next head coach. Normally, a team trying to trade a disgruntled star player under contract leads to a lower return than the team parting with the star would've hoped. The Dolphins no longer have a first-round pick in 2023 after their own was forfeited as a result of the [Tom Brady](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/187741/tom-brady/) tampering investigation. The Broncos will be graded on a curve because of their significant investment in Russell Wilson. The first-round pick being sent by Denver is actually the one acquired from the [Dolphins](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/MIA/miami-dolphins/) in exchange for linebacker [Bradley Chubb](/nfl/players/2136439/bradley-chubb/). [Russell Wilson](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/1272242/russell-wilson/) struggled mightily in his first season as a Bronco.
