I think we have to.
I think the Broncos have to make a move to extend George Payton.
No general manager has ever had to deal with one player taking up $90 million in dead cap, or I guess $85 million to be exact, right?
But obviously the Denver Broncos, they've put a lot of money towards Russell Wilson on the salary cap these last two years at least, and they were still literally paying him last year.
So it's kind of crazy to think about, Cody, what the Broncos have been able to accomplish despite the fact that
I mean, and that's, you know, some people will argue, hey, that's the bed that George Payton made when he brought in Russell Wilson via trade.
You make the blockbuster trade, the whole story with John Schneider at the combine and the napkins at the bar.
Right.
And you're drawing up the whole trade.
And it was supposed to be a franchise altering move to wake up what George Payton dubbed a sleeping giant when he took the job back in 2021.
but ultimately the sleeping giant was somewhere deeper within the the i guess if you had to climb up the beanstalk to find him he was somewhere deeper in there truly because it required the right head coach to come in and be the straw that stirs the drink and i think obviously there's so much that we can unpack for the first couple of years of george payton's tenure as the general manager of this team versus the last couple years with sean payton
So it's a really interesting situation here because he clearly drafted well early on, and now we're looking at the benefits of that with no first-round picks in 2022 or 2023, barely even second-round picks in those drafts, but absolutely smashing the draft in 2021 and then getting key core players in the drafts that followed that, bringing in Sean Payton, identifying Bo Nix as a target for your quarterback position.
It's just...
I mean, you go through so many different facets of the way this team has been built, despite the albatross of Russell Wilson's deal.
There's no question in my mind that George Payton should be extended.
And that's exciting for Broncos country, because like you mentioned, it's the entire roster that's taken the team to being the number one seed, right?
I think if you have a situation, which I know the Russell Wilson dead cap is unprecedented, but if you have a situation like that, where a player is taking up such a large portion of your cap, who's not even helping your team, you would expect that some superstar players are carrying a large portion of the load, right?
Like it's gotta be,
a superstar quarterback that's obviously carrying the team or it's got to be you know one certain player who's just dominating and helping lift your team on a week-to-week basis the fact that the broncos have been able to create a roster that is so talented across the board and deep
is is insane it's just it's crazy that's a you're in position despite not having a first round pick in 2022 and 2023 and after having to take a quarterback in 2024 having no other choice you're already in a position the quality of your roster to use a pick in the first round of this past year's draft on a luxury option i mean let's just call it what it is like the broncos didn't need a corner going into the draft you and i talked about that all leading up to the draft
