Recently, on a podcast, the HC Sean Payton offered a comprehensive update on the team’s approach to the forthcoming NFL trade deadline. The HC was speaking with Branden about the standings of the side on various surrounding issues. Amidst this, Branden asked him about the probable future trades in the upcoming week.
To this, Payton acknowledged the unique timing of the trade deadline coinciding with the Broncos’ bye week but downplayed its impact on their operations. He said, “I wouldn’t look at it that way.” He highlighted that while the team is not actively seeking trades, they are open to communication.
Commenting about the same, he revealed, “People have called, sure they have.” He then pointed out that buyers are typically more eager to publicize their trade inquiries than sellers. Despite the speculations made so far, Payton’s focus solely remained on the team’s preparation. He was fully into noting his plans to review player performances and strategize for upcoming games.
He said, “We’re looking at the next opponent… it’s a Monday night game so the schedule changes a little.” While the comments on focus and preparation make sense for the side, it is a rather unexpected scenario for the Denver Broncos to not participate enthusiastically in the Trade. After the season they have had up until now, one would expect Payton to grab the golden opportunity.
