Sean Payton Says He Has 'A Lot of Juice Left' After New 5-Year Contract Extension with Broncos

The Denver Broncos locked up head coach Sean Payton to a five-year contract extension on Thursday, a just reward for two straight playoff appearances.

And Payton still has plenty of gas in the tank.

"I've got a lot of juice left and enjoy what we're doing," he told reporters. "Someone asked the other day, 'Do you enjoy it?' I think when that stops is when you've got to look at it, but I'm not at that spot right now."

Last month, general manager George Paton signed a four-year extension, so Payton and Paton will very much remain joined at the hip.

"That triangle of ownership... and then George, working with him, I've been spoiled because I had a really good experience in New Orleans with ownership and (general manager) Mickey (Loomis)," Payton told reporters. "To go 2-for-2 with that is hard in our league. I'm thankful they want me back, and we'll do everything we can to keep winning."

Payton, 62, has gone 32-19 in his three seasons with Denver, and the Broncos were a game away—and perhaps a Bo Nix injury away—from reaching the Super Bowl during the 2025 campaign.
