The Denver Broncos just made a move that clearly signals a "win now" mentality. Despite claims across the NFL that the Broncos are "rebuilding," Sean Payton has shown he's focused on winning immediately. Reports suggest that the San Francisco 49ers were set to trade Brandon Aiyuk to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but only if they could replace him with Courtland Sutton. The rumored deal on the table would have given the Broncos a 3rd-round pick in next year’s draft.
This development is significant for several reasons. First, it shows that Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers front office view Courtland Sutton as being on the same level as Brandon Aiyuk. Second, it’s a bigger trade offer than what the Chargers received for Keenan Allen or what the Bills got for Stefon Diggs. While NFL pundits often overlook Sutton’s talent, this shows that those who understand football recognize the value he brings to the table.
But the best news is that Sean Payton declined the trade! He understands that Bo Nix's development in his first year is crucial, and Sutton plays a key role in that process. Payton also knows that we’re in win-now mode, and a 3rd-round pick in next year’s draft doesn’t help us make the playoffs this year or support Bo Nix’s development right now.
Additionally, we break down the news that the Broncos cut highly sought-after inside linebacker Levelle Bailey to sign Kristian Welch, who was a surprise cut from the Green Bay Packers. This is another win-now move, as Payton chose a player with real NFL experience over one with just high potential. The Denver Broncos are clearly in win-now mode, and that’s something we can all "Bo-lieve" in.
Let me know what you want me to do during the Broncos game on Sunday—should I host a watch-along on YouTube Live, or would you prefer a postgame breakdown video?
