Original Title: The Broncos have traded 3 first round picks, 3 second round picks, a third and a fourth round pick. And will pay Sean Payton and Russell Wilson a combined 335 million dollars, all to start the season 1-5 with the third worst point differential in the NFL
Sean Payton’s contract is estimated to be 17-20 million dollars for 5 years, with most sources saying it’s 18 million dollars a year. That’s a total of $90,000,000
Add in the 2023 first, 2024 second, and the Saints 2024 third round pick and that’s a total of a first, second, and third round pick + $90,000,000 for Sean Payton
Russell Wilson’s contract is 245,000,000 over 5 years
The Broncos traded Drew Lock, Noah Fant, Shelby Harris, a 2022 and 2023 first round pick, a 2022 and 2023 second round pick, and a 2022 fourth for Russell Wilson and what became Eyioma Uwazurike
The Broncos are now 1-5, were one field goal away from the worst loss in NFL history a week ago(a 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins), and their only win came against the Bears who are currently 1-4. They have a -76 point differential which is third only to the Giants(-91) and Patriots(-76), and statistically have the worst defense in the NFL
