Twitter reacts to Broncos trading for Sean Payton
It appears that the Denver Broncos finally got their man: former New Orleans head coach Sean Payton.
Denver agreed to terms on a trade with the Saints on Tuesday afternoon. The Broncos will trade their 2023 first-round pick (29th overall) and their 2024 second-round pick. As a part of the trade package, the Broncos will receive the Saints’ 2024 third-round pick. Because of Payton’s pedigree, Denver will likely make him one of the NFL’s highest-paid coaches.
Judging from the reactions of Tim Patrick and Pat Surtain, it seems safe to say that Broncos players are excited about Payton’s arrival. Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the trade on Tuesday.

The Broncos got better today
Sean Payton will make a difference.
An effective coach is always more important than an unproven draft pick.
Coaching matters.
Culture matters.
The @broncos got a lot better today.— Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) January 31, 2023
The Payton hire will give the Broncos a lot of press and hype. Hopefully the hype will match with results.
