Denver is a far cry from LA weather wise, but money talks. Denver has a legit D & even though it appears that Wilson is on the downside of his career, maybe even worse, I’m sure that Sean thinks he can get a couple more great seasons out of him. I’m still not sold it’ll be Denver.
The Cardinals job is the only one left that’s even remotely a good option. If the Cardinals aren’t willing to meet his demands, I could definitely see him waiting another year. More possible options next year:
I suppose if you wait another year, why not wait another as essentially a FA and don't need a trade? Assuming nothing super enticing opens up.
Yeah, but their division, and broken Russell Wilson are 2 pretty big disadvantages.
Holy cow...I just picked up on something that Payton said at about the 4:30 mark (just go to when he starts talking)...He was talking about teams with QB's and how they are usually playing well and don't have an opening (something like that), then he said teams with an opening are not necessarily "broken", but something is wrong. Didn't Mike, in his "we just fired KK" presser use language about not being at broken as some might think?
Exactly!
Rams owner Kroenke was known as a terrible owner prior to McVay.
I livied in Denver and although it does have the winter snow weather, it is a fun place and the Rocky Mountains are spectacular. The city is crazy over the Broncos. They have an excellent new stadium and an owner with deep pockets. Russell Wilson had a terrible year but he is just 34 years of age and Payton could help resurrect his career.
That’s what I heard long ago. An early second this year and next year’s second. However with so many contending for Payton it might go to arbitration.
What they ask for and what they get are two different things. They aren't getting multiple first round picks.
Oh hell no. x2 1st rounders? Nah, we good.
The article says that Payton wants $20-$25 million per year, too.
