Broncos head coach Sean Payton opened Pandora’s box, and it’s safe to say he regrets doing so.
After Denver’s first day of training camp Friday morning, Payton expressed remorse for comments made to USA TODAY on how the Broncos organization handled last season, former head coach Nathaniel Hackett’s work in Denver and the New York Jets seeking the spotlight.
“It was a learning experience for me,” he said. “It was a mistake, and obviously, I need a little more restraint. I regret that.”
Since Payton arrived in Denver, he’s shielded his team from those outside the organization, purposely limiting media attention to focus on football.
