The Broncos quarterback selection may depend on Sean Payton’s desire to “win now.”
LAS VEGAS: On Monday, Sean Payton will start the draft meetings. And Russell Wilson’s status will be a determining factor in those discussions.
It appears that Wilson and the Broncos are at their end of the road. This raises the question of what will happen next. And the answer to that might rely on how quickly the Broncos are able to get back into the picture.
According to longtime radio presenter and former NFL defensive lineman Mike Golic, that timescale might not be very lengthy.
“Sean needs to win now, so you find whether it’s an exchange or a free specialist, you find someone who you feel can be that person,” Golic said from Radio Column at Super Bowl LVIII.
“What’s more, to draft a quarterback, as well, and have a vet span, that is cool, however I think you actually need to raise a ruckus around town running with the group you have.”
A Choice Drove Via SEAN PAYTON
Also, at last, what Payton needs will drive the choice … similarly as sidelining Russell Wilson was driven by what the mentor needs from his quarterback.
“You’re not acquiring Sean Payton and afterward telling him, ‘Russell Wilson will be your quarterback for the following five years since we did an augmentation,” Golic said.
“Sean Payton will go with his own choice on that, and his choice was to continue on, and afterward you’ve have to sort out all the other things, from cap cash to dead cash to dead cover hits. It gets pretty serious in the background with that.”
Also, that is essential for what Sean Payton and the Mustangs should sort out.
“It appeared to be that Sean Payton needed to continue on and didn’t have any desire to take the risk of owing — as well as then getting in compensation cap damnation,” Golic said. ” Yet, Russell can go play for another person at a limited quantity and Denver’s taking care of the check.”
Golic can be heard Sunday on 104.3 The Fan, as he will be an on-field correspondent on Westwood One’s radio inclusion of Super Bowl LVIII.
