The Sean Payton Sweepstakes is on.
The Broncos interviewed Payton in Los Angeles on Tuesday for their head-coaching vacancy, league sources confirmed to The Post. In the process, Denver became the first team to meet with him in person during this coaching cycle and the second to talk with him this week as the former New Orleans coach weighs a return to the sideline.
Payton coached the Saints from 2006-21 and compiled a 153-89 record. He won a Super Bowl in February 2010 and helped quarterback Drew Brees solidify a Hall of Fame resume along the way before resigning after the 2021 season, a year after Brees retired.
