Sean Payton said he intended to spend part of Monday watching Buffalo film even though the teams don’t play for two weeks.
His eyes, he says, are down the road, even with the trade deadline arriving Tuesday afternoon.
Of course, he also acknowledged that he’ll likely meet with general manager George Paton later in the day. And the phone will probably ring. Perhaps frequently.
“We’re not openly or even remotely shopping anybody,” Payton reiterated Monday.
That is not the same thing as saying the Broncos are sure to stay idle.
“Have people called? Sure the have,” Payton said.
