Here’s Pat Surtain II discussing his #Broncos raise today. Said two sides have “talked about it” previously, said it was “mutual.” Clear this wasn’t a surprise. “They heavily invested into me as much as I invested into them. So it’s an honor and a privilege to be here still.”

#Broncos OLB Jonathon Cooper does not seem particularly intimidated by Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart. “He’s a young guy. He’s feelin’ himself a little bit. He’s out there running around. He’s got the chain on. He’s dancing. I feel like everybody needs something, you know.”

Sean Payton on new #Broncos QC coach Willie Snead, a former WR for Payton in New Orleans: “I give him a hard time. I think he played 12 or 13 years, and I always tell him — he played 11 too many. But he always knew who he was. He was a tremendous blocker, smart, tough.”

Asked Peyton Manning on seeing Demaryius Thomas’s smile on his statue today. Talked about DT pushing son Marshall around in laundry bin after Super Bowl. Emotional day for Manning, teammates. On the smile: “It was just contagious. And he kind of kept things in perspective.”

Pointed “record says who you are” to Sean Payton— Payton: “That’s exactly right. But. Are you going to say but? No.” Asked if he’s comfortable with how games continue to unfold. Long answer. “We’re never comfortable as coaches. But, there’s no buts … we’re never satisfied.”

Asked USC’s Lincoln Riley if he felt a lot of recent decisions by players to transfer been influenced by money. “Yeah” (adamantly). “I mean they have — on both sides … every school, like, you have a budget. And this is what we got to spend.” A lot in his response here:

Sean Payton said the #Broncos “understood real quickly” Chiefs’ plan to bleed clock, play coverage, soft zone. “And you always have to remember this — man, you’re playing the heart of a champion. Andy and this team, man, I don’t care who comes out of that locker room.”

Asked #Broncos’ Marvin Mims Jr. if any contract talks have started, going into last year of his deal. Said no. “It’s been weird, because, so, I’ve been basically, just showing up every day. Really, talks about discussion, personally, haven’t had.” Wants to be where feet are.

USC backup QB Jayden Maiava said when Lincoln Riley told him he was naming Miller Moss QB1, he told Riley “by all means.” “Anything you got to do to win … me and Miller, we all got one thing in common, and that’s putting the team in the best position to win the game.”

#Broncos OLB Nik Bonitto with a really insightful breakdown into Jonah Elliss’s shift to ILB. “A lot of the times, on 3rd downs, he was lined up at ILB already. And we had multiple packages for him, and he’s one of our best cover players when we drop him in coverage.”

Pretty humble response from #Broncos ILB Justin Strnad when asked about accepting role again as reserve with Dre Greenlaw back. “I’m not gonna lie, it’s difficult. But I love Dre. We brought Dre in to be a big player for this team, and I was excited to see him out there.”

Asked Sean Payton about Chargers resting Justin Herbert Sunday, if that changes calculus. Made clear — nope. “This is a playoff game. I just finished telling our team, like, we have to focus on now. We have to focus on, all right, what are the strengths of Trey (Lance).”

Asked John Franklin-Myers if the #Broncos ever initiated communication around an extension. “No, it was never a conversation. And you know what, who cares? I mean, they had other people, other situations in mind.” Reiterated how happy he is for other Denver DL guys getting paid

This was final play from #Broncos-Commanders in OT, which could've ended much different. Watch No. 9 Talanoa Hufanga as he goes to cover Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols (No. 26). Sean Payton felt pretty clearly today a flag should've been called on that. His comments below.
