The Denver Broncos and Sean Payton have agreed to a new five-year contract, the team announced Thursday.
ESPN first reported the news.
“Sean Payton has led an impressive turnaround over the past three seasons, instilling a winning culture with high expectations,” team owner Greg Penner said in a statement released by the team. “I appreciate the close partnership he shares with George Paton along with the alignment and stability across our football operations.
“We’re thrilled for Sean to continue leading our team as head coach, building on our progress during such an exciting time for the Broncos.”
Payton has served as the club’s head coach for the past three seasons, overseeing Denver’s return to contention as the Broncos have gone 32-19 with a recent trip to the AFC Championship Game under him.
Payton’s deal keeps Denver’s regime intact through 2030, as the team also inked a five-year deal with general manager George Paton back in May.
Around the NFL will have more shortly.
