Sources: Saints, Broncos agree to trade to make Sean Payton Denver's head coach

The Broncos and New Orleans Saints have agreed to a deal to make Sean Payton Denver's next head coach, Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson confirmed.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported on Tuesday that the teams had agreed to a deal.

Sources told Robinson that the Broncos will send the Saints a first-round pick in 2023 and a second-round selection in 2024 for the rights to hire Payton, who remained under contract in New Orleans. The Broncos will also receive a 2024 third-round pick in return.

A year ago, Sean Payton stepped down as coach of the New Orleans Saints.
