ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton often holds his cards so close to his vest that it seems like they're resting on his spine. But Payton offered Broncos fans a little hint at his master plan in the days before NFL free agency opened.
With so much attention focused on how the Broncos might try to give quarterback Bo Nix more playmakers, Payton gave more of a big-picture look, teasing that the team's early work in free agency might not be simply about getting Nix skill-position help.
"We have to look closely at what helps the team because that in turn can end up helping that position," Payton said.
