This five-year deal replaces that contract. Financial details of Payton&#8217;s new deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Payton led the Broncos to the AFC Championship Game in his third season as the Broncos&#8217; coach after guiding Denver to a 14-3 regular-season record in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Payton&#8217;s extension comes after the Broncos agreed to a five-year extension with general manager George Paton last month. Now both men are under contract with the organization through the 2030 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Broncos have gone 32-19 during Payton&#8217;s three seasons, increasing their win total each season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">&#8220;Sean Payton has led an impressive turnaround over the past three seasons, instilling a winning culture with high expectations,&#8221; Broncos owner Greg Penner said in a statement. &#8220;I appreciate the close partnership he shares with George Paton along with the alignment and stability across our football operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled for Sean to continue leading our team as head coach, building on our progress during such an exciting time for the Broncos.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Denver traded a 2023 first-round pick and 2024 second-round pick to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsn.ca\/nfl\/team-page\/new-orleans-saints\/undefined\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.tsn.ca\/nfl\/team-page\/new-orleans-saints\/undefined\" target=\"_blank\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> in 2023 in order to hire Payton. Denver also received a 2024 third-round pick in that deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Payton stepped away from the Saints after the 2021 season after leading New Orleans to a 152-89 record during his time as coach. However, he had signed a contract extension with the Saints in 2019 that was set to run through the 2024 season, necessitating Denver&#8217;s trade to be able to hire him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Payton, who was named the NFL&#8217;s Coach of the Year in 2006, guided the Saints to their only Super Bowl championship after the 2009 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Denver Broncos have signed coach Sean Payton to a new five-year contract, the team announced Thursday.
