Report: Broncos Board Already Doubting Sean Payton’s Future
Denver, CO — Tensions are reportedly rising inside the Denver Broncos organization, with insiders telling ESPN that members of the board and ownership group are beginning to doubt head coach Sean Payton’s long-term success with the team.
According to the report, patience in Denver is running thin after a turbulent stretch that has failed to deliver the consistency and progress many expected when Payton was hired in 2023 on a record-breaking contract.
“There are already discussions at board level questioning whether Sean Payton is the right man to lead this roster into the future,” one insider revealed. “If results don’t improve quickly, actions to part ways with him are likely.”
A Rocky Tenure
Payton, who was brought in with the expectation of revitalizing quarterback Russell Wilson and stabilizing the franchise, has faced scrutiny over offensive struggles, player utilization, and the team’s inability to establish momentum in a stacked AFC.
While the Broncos have shown flashes of potential, inconsistency and high-profile losses have raised alarm bells. Some within the organization reportedly feel the team is not heading in the right direction under Payton’s leadership.
What’s Next?
If the Broncos continue to underperform, speculation suggests ownership may be prepared to make a bold move, despite the financial hit of parting ways with Payton so early into his contract.
For now, the spotlight remains firmly on Denver’s next run of games — with the head coach’s future potentially hanging in the balance.
