There’s a new head coach inColorado. After a long search, the Denver Broncos hired Sean Payton for the 2023 NFL season and the Super Bowl XLIV champion arrived with new rules, specially with a restriction for Russell Wilson, the team’s quarterback.

The Broncos have finally signed the head coach they wanted. After a disappointing 2022 NFL season with Nathaniel Hackett, Denver decided to trade with the Saints for Sean Payton in a blockbuster move for the next campaign.

It seems like, after a very bad season, Russell Wilson will finally have a coach that can guide him to success with the Broncos. But now, Sean Payton has revealed his first restriction for the quarterback that he definitely didn’t expect.

Sean Payton has a strong restriction for Russell Wilson

The Denver Broncos pursued Sean Payton and made an offer to the New Orleans Saints for his release as head coach. This major move by the AFC West team raises expectations for immediate results from the Super Bowl XLIV champion.

One of the main objectives for Denver’s front office is that Russell Wilson feels comfortable with a head coach that can handle top quarterbacks, just like Payton did with Drew Brees at New Orleans.

Now, Payton has addressed a situation that really surprised him at his arrival to Denver: Russell Wilson’s ‘special’ benefits. The head coach is not very comfortable with the treatment the quarterback has received the last year.

“Yeah, I’m not too familiar with that,” Payton said when asked about Russell Wilson having personal coaches in the building last season and if that will continue with him as head coach. “That’s foreign to me. That’s not going to take place here. Our staff and players will be here and that will be it.”
