The Broncos interviewed Payton in Los Angeles on Tuesday for their head-coaching vacancy, league sources confirmed to The Post. In the process, Denver became the first team to meet with him in person during this coaching cycle and the second to talk with him this week as the former New Orleans coach weighs a return to the sideline.
Payton interviewed virtually with Houston on Monday and said on FOX earlier that day that he planned to travel to New York late in the week to meet with Carolina owner David Tepper. Arizona, which just finalized a general manager hire, also has permission to interview Payton.
“It’s complicated. Because, look, I have such great respect for . He’s a close friend of mine,” Loomis said. “He’s a great coach. All those things. And I want the best for him. I do. We do, collectively as an organization. He gave everything he could possibly give to the New Orleans Saints and took us to heights that the organization and team never achieved before. So, I absolutely want the best for him.
Bidding teams know, too, however, that the value New Orleans can get for Payton will drop next year if he doesn’t take a job this offseason. Payton appears motivated to get back to coaching this year.
