Sean Payton quickly became the fan favorite. The coach will give his services when the offseason will start because he is still under contract with FOX as one of the analysts. And since there are a lot of decisions to be made, he shared a tweet that made fans think that the coach is trying to replace Russell Wilson.
Russell Wilson became the bane of the team’s existence in this off-season. As many people know, the Broncos had an unfortunate season. Denver ended the season with a 5-12 under the leadership of Nathaniel Hackett. The team fired the former head coach after fifteen games but still has DangeRuss as their starting quarterback. However, one tweet from Payton caught the attention of the NFL world. They reacted and commented in surprise.

I hate to disagree with you, coach, but there's no way Broncos Country would accept Tom Brady as Denver's QB.
