There are questions facing the Broncos as the owners meetings begin. Denver filled needs in free agency, but will all the new pieces fit?
DENVER — Hitch a ride on the Sean Payton Express, a locomotive in Englewood that is chugging down the tracks on a crusade to return the Broncos to relevancy.
When the Broncos hired Payton on Jan. 31, signing him to a five-year deal, no one was sure what the next few months would look like. It has become clear over the past two weeks that all that matters to Payton is winning. He left his one-year retirement to engage in a makeover worthy of"The Property Brothers." Payton and general manager George Paton have added 15 players, including 12 from outside the organization. CEO Greg Penner, who apologized to Broncos Country in December for the embarrassing season, guaranteed more than $138 million in contract.
In an attempt to change the culture, something Payton believes can happen in a first season, the new coach has added five offensive players who were on his Saints teams: tight end Chris Manhertz, receiver Marquez Callaway, receiver Lil' Jordan Humphrey, running back Tony Jones and fullback Michael Burton.
The Broncos arrive at the owners meetings on Sunday with multiple needs addressed, but questions looming. I look forward to asking Payton what he thinks of his roster, what Paton sees as needs in the draft and whether Penner is comfortable spending like this every year in free agency or if this was an exception to shove the franchise back on track.Payton and Paton identified the offensive line as a top priority this offseason.
