They could sure as hell use some help.

I’m just hoping we don’t lose Callahan and Anarumo.

Two things:

Sean needs to hire a good defensive coordinator and get out of his way.

Secondly, Payton is very good at configuring offenses to fit his talent. Look for Russel Wilson to have a much better year.

Oh, another thing...The owners of the Broncos are lo-o-o-o-oaded, in the vernacular of Mr. White. I wouldn't be surprised if Sean got $25M/yr.

[Mik]

Wilson’s getting a bit long of tooth, isn’t he? Best start looking at the next generation.

I guess they did pretty well with Manning though.

[Horace]

He must think Wilson isn't washed up. That's something.

[Jolly]

Wilson is 34. He should have 2 or 3 good years left.

They need offensive line help. Bad.

Denver is about $10M under the cap, which should roll over into next year. They have no first or second round picks in 2023. They do have two picks in the third round.

I predict Payton drafts a guard in the third and a TE. He's either going to trade for a center or most likely will get a FA. Don't be surprised if Can't Guard Mike follows Sean to Denver.
