The Facts: HC Sean Payton on Sunday shot down trade rumors involving wide receivers Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. GM George Paton followed suit on Monday.
Diehards Line:Payton had told NFL Network at the NFL owners meetings that “we’re not trading those two players.” Paton was equally blunt. “We’re excited to have them on our football team,” Paton said. “Two young players in their prime. I think Sean said it best: We’re not interested in trading them. When you’re in my position, you get a lot of calls. We’ve gotten calls from those players. And so we anticipate them being here.” Payton on Monday said the Broncos are getting a lot of calls because there is a “new coach” and it’s “not a real deep receiver draft.”
