The Denver Broncos and head coach Sean Payton have reached an agreement on a new five-year contract extension, according to sources via ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The deal secures Payton’s future in Denver following a highly successful start to his tenure with the franchise. Over the past two years, Payton has led the Broncos to the third-most wins in the NFL. This recent success was highlighted by an impressive postseason run last season that saw the team reach the AFC Championship Game.
By locking in Payton for the next five seasons, Broncos owner Greg Penner and the organization’s leadership have signaled their continued confidence in the veteran coach to lead the franchise. Payton, who joined Denver after a long and successful stint with the New Orleans Saints, has quickly revitalized the team's standing in the AFC West.
