The Denver Broncos had been interested in Sean Payton for weeks. The New Orleans Saints knew that. Payton thought that Denver was a great opportunity for him.
It was a match that always made plenty of sense.
Funny enough, Payton made a nod to the Broncos before the Saints traded him. Some folks noticed it when he was on a national broadcast, but many may have overlooked it.
During his final weekend as an analyst, Payton wore an orange tie. The former Saints head coach confirmed that it was no coincidence.
Payton wore that specific tie on purpose.
He wanted the Broncos to know that he was serious about their open head coaching job. Clearly, that worked out well for him.
Both the Saints and Broncos got a win from the entire situation as well. The Saints got solid draft compensation for Payton, and the Broncos got a future hall of fame HC.
His choice to rock the orange tie was certainly a great one.
