His team consistently had 20-40 million in dead money.
He had like 3-4 years there where about 25% of his teams salary cap allotment was dead money that was paid to players they ended up cutting and left the team crippled. NO is STILL dealing with the aftermath of that…they have almost 37 million of their salary cap this year inndead money.
Dead money is a direct result of poor FA (internal or external) signings that had to be cut before the pro rated part of their signing bonus came due.
If Sean is the Denver HC, guys like Jewell will be getting 20m aav and cut 2 years later, regularly…and the “Great Value Owner” is no different than Snyder I’m Washington in that he’s clueless to the workings of the sport and thinks he can buy wins…so he will be a perfect mix of Sean wanting to give out big signing bonuses and the owner writing the checks.
And it would take their first and maybe one of their 2 thirds to trade for the right for him to burn them from inside the building.

Sean Payton is used to being on a team that goes for it every year. Which meshes perfectly with the Broncos, who have historically been one of the most active teams in free agency since free agency became a thing. In fact, as of a few years ago, Denver led the entire NFL in free agent signings since 1993.
The cap hell the Saints find themselves in now is due to mortgaging the future to try to make another run with Brees. Had it not been for the Minneapolis Miracle and the Robey-Coleman non-call in the NFCCG, Payton might have three Super Bowl trophies right now.
