Denver acquired Wilson in a trade with the Seahawks last year in exchange Payton spent the 2022 season as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports.

The Broncos are finalizing compensation for a trade with the New Orleans Saints to acquire Sean Payton as Denver's next head coach.

He stayed in that role for two seasons before taking over as the New York Giants QBs coach in 1999. But along with the success came strife in the form of Payton’s 2012 suspension for his part in New Orleans’ bounty scandal. He headed back to SDSU as the team’s RBs coach from 1992-93 and was the Miami (Ohio) offensive coordinator the next two seasons. In his 15 seasons as Saints head coach, New Orleans made the playoffs nine times. He held that position for a year before being promoted to Giants OC. For Payton, Arizona was the fourth stop during his head-coaching candidacy.

Most head coaches would get a pass for a rough first year, but not when you make a massive trade to acquire one of the top quarterbacks in the league in Russell Wilson.

The Broncos fired Nathaniel Hackett after just one year on the job, but it was a disastrous one year as the team finished dead last in the AFC West with a 5-12 record.

The two purportedly almost connected last year in Miami before the Brian Flores lawsuit put the kybosh on the Dolphins executing some less-than-perfectly-above-board maneuvers to not only land Payton and Fangio, but also — reportedly — Tom Brady. Logan's reports are to be trusted, and it sounds like Fangio returning to Denver on Payton's coattails is very much in the works. If what Logan reports is true, this could be the beginning of Payton realizing that goal but as head coach of the Broncos. Fangio served as Denver's head coach from 2019-21, and was fired little more than a year ago by GM George Paton, who, ostensibly, would not only be signing off on Payton hiring the veteran defensive coordinator, but likely actively recruiting him. You'd have to go back about 20 years, but such head coach trades have happened in the past, the most recent of which was Jon Gruden to Tampa Bay in 2002.

The highlight of his season has to be his near record-breaking performance against the The Broncos signed linebacker Alex Singleton in free agency, and it’s safe to say that he had his best season yet.
