NFL fans react to Sean Payton getting trolled by Sauce Gardner and Aaron Rodgers after Jets defeat the Denver Broncos
Fans were trolling and bashing Payton and star Jets players Sauce Gardner and Aaron Rodgers following the Jets' victory over the Broncos.
Here's how fans reacted on social media:
What comments did Sean Payton make about Nathaniel Hackett before the season began?
Earlier this off-season, Payton threw some dirt on Nathaniel Hackett. Following Hackett being fired before the season ended last year as the Broncos head coach, Payton said that Hackett had one of the worst head coaching jobs last season.
“One of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. Everything I heard about last season, we’re doing the opposite,” said Payton in an interview with USA Today.
Last season, the Broncos were 2-3 through their first five games. This season, they are 1-4 through their first five games.
Sean Payton's contract in the spotlight: How much does Broncos head coach make in a year?
The Denver Broncos paid an arm-and-a-leg to acquire head coach Payton from the New Orleans Saints. The Saints sent Payton and a 2024 third-round draft pick to Denver in exchange for the Broncos' 2023 first-round pick and a second-round pick in 2024.
According to Peter King, Payton's five-year deal is in the neighborhood of around $18 million a year. That would make him the second-highest-paid coach in sports and the NFL, behind Bill Belichick.
