Sean Payton retired from coaching in the NFL two years ago, and has been working for FOX as an analyst. This year's head coach hiring cycle brought him out of retirement, with the Denver Broncos making the big move in a trade with the New Orleans Saints. Denver traded a 2023 1st round pick and 2024 2nd for Payton and a 2024 3rd. They are also reportedly paying him $18 million per year.
Washington doesn't have a head coaching opening, but they might if Dan Snyder sells the team this year. The first round of bids were submitted in December, but potential new owners aren't waiting to try to set up changes.
