However, it is officially a one this year, a two next year and the broncos get Payton and next years 3rd rounder from the Saints. So it makes a little more sense but in my opinion still to high of a price to play. I’m afraid the broncos felt it was their only choice since they did the Russell deal… but I’m afraid Russell in on the downhill slide and Payton will not be putting a helmet on.
So the light air reference was due to the thin air at mile high., and that they lost their minds. Turns out, only lost half their minds (imo)
OKAY...so I mostly got it right. High altitude rarified air, Oxygen deprived brain cells, lack of cogent thought process.......
Still though.... It doesn't seem TOO crazy, considering what all of the prognosticators were 'forecasting'. I've seen some predictions as high as 2-3 1st rounders plus additional compensation.!! Going with what you said, it seems a LOT more reasonable. Yes, a lot to give up, but Sean Payton is (was..??) a hell of a coach. Even if he was a former enemy OPFOR guy, I would have accepted him here with no qualms at all. I just hope Frank Reich does as well..........
