New Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is looking forward to working with quarterback Russell Wilson, telling Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune/NOLA.com that he's "excited."
"Russell is a hard worker and has played at a high level and won a lot of games in this league," Payton said. "The pressure is on us to put a good run game together and reduce the degree of difficulty on his position. I'm excited about him."
The New Orleans Saints have reportedly agreed to trade their ex-head coach, who remained under contract with the team through 2024 after stepping down following the 2021 campaign, to the Broncos for draft compensation.
