Keeler: Broncos need Sean Payton. But not badly enough to cough up two first-round draft picks.

You know what they call an NFL general manager who trades away two first-round picks for an old Russell Wilson and then another two first-rounders for an old Sean Payton?

Unemployed.

The Broncos need Payton. They need his resume. His gravitas. His offense. His culture. His high floor. His Super Bowl ceiling.

You know what they don’t need? Another fleecing by an NFC front office that smells desperation from 64 yards away.

They sure as heck don’t need the price tag reported early Wednesday evening by longtime Saints insider Jeff Duncan of NOLA.
