The Denver Broncos locked up head coach Sean Payton for another five years. The Broncos languished in mediocrity for nearly a decade after winning Super Bowl 50 in 2015. Payton turned the team’s fortunes around, leading the Broncos to the AFC Championship last season. Payton is now entering his 21st season as a head coach, and has nearly 40 years of total experience.
“Sean Payton has led an impressive turnaround over the past three seasons, instilling a winning culture with high expectations,” Broncos owner Greg Penner said in a statement on the team’s official website. “I appreciate the close partnership he shares with George Paton along with the alignment and stability across our football operations. We’re thrilled for Sean to continue leading our team as head coach, building on our progress during such an exciting time for the Broncos.”
