The Denver Broncos top brass did its best to present a united front on Tuesday.
Among the platitudes and cliches that spilled from the podium at Denver Broncos headquarters on Tuesday, the team made an effort to present a united front at the top of the leadership pyramid, led by CEO Greg Penner. With rumors and questions about GM George Paton’s job security swirling and head coach Sean Payton facing blowback for his handling of the Russell Wilson benching, Penner presented a rosy picture of the pair’s relationship.
“It’s been a year now, and I thought it worked really well, especially the partnership between Sean and George,” Panner said on Tuesday. “That relationship between head coach and GM is critical. I was impressed with the way that they handled going from free agency to the draft. It was great to see a number of young players that George and his staff had drafted previously step up and play key roles. I thought there was improvement this year, and I think George can help us build a winning roster here.”
