ESPNThe Denver Broncos have signed their head coach to a new five-year contract that runs through the 2030 season. The team announced the extension Thursday. The coach had two years remaining on his previous contract, which the new deal replaces.
Contract details and context Financial terms of the new agreement were not disclosed. The extension follows a five-year deal the Broncos gave their general manager last month. Both the coach and the general manager are now under contract through 2030.
Performance under current leadership The team posted a 14-3 regular-season record in 2025 and reached the AFC Championship Game in the coach's third season. The Broncos have gone 32-19 during the coach's three seasons, with win totals rising each year. The owner said in a statement that the coach has led an impressive turnaround and instilled a winning culture.
“Sean Payton has led an impressive turnaround over the past three seasons, instilling a winning culture with high expectations.”
The Broncos traded a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 second-round pick to the New Orleans Saints in 2023 to acquire the coach. They received a 2024 third-round pick in return. The coach had previously led the Saints to a 152-89 record and their only Super Bowl title after the 2009 season. He was named NFL Coach of the Year in 2006.
