Broncos coach Sean Payton on trade deadline: We answer phone, but “we’re not looking to do business with any of our players”
Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:13:39 GMT
The Broncos have already traded one veteran player this season, but coach Sean Payton says the team isn’t in a big rush to part with more.Speculation around trade targets is only going to increase in the three weeks between now and the Oct. 31 trade deadline in the NFL, but Payton on Tuesday said that he and general manager George Paton aren’t shopping anybody.“George and I talk every day. Three or four times a day,” the first-year Denver head coach said. “We’re not looking to do business with any of our players. That doesn’t prevent teams from calling at times. You pick the phone up, but that’s kind of where it’s at.”Teams called for most of the offseason, too, particularly about wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton. Payton and Paton didn’t get a deal they liked for either one and held the line. At 1-4, though, and with a rugged schedule ahead, the math is different at the trade deadline than it is in the summer when nobody’s lost a game yet.In the coming wee...Former L.A.

Nonetheless, Russia ranks 52nd among the countries in the world in average per capita incomes, 100th in life expectancy, and 79th in self-reported life satisfaction. Even before the Ukrainian War, Russia had an emigration problem because many people wanted to leave Russia.What Trump likes is that most of Russia’s wealth is in the hands of a small group of oligarchs while the rest of the population suffers.
