Wilson was cut after playing 15 games in Payton’s offense and recording 3,070 passing yards and 26 touchdown passes. Jeudy had 54 catches for 758 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games. Payton led the Broncos to an 8-9 record in his first season at the helm in Denver but big changes were made.

White, who went up against the Payton-led New Orleans Saints during his career in Atlanta, wrote on X that Drew Brees was the one who carried the team, not Payton.

"Sean (Payton’s) time has passed him by don’t matter who he gets in the draft Drew carried that man and he ain’t done nothing since," he wrote on X.

"I don’t want people to think that cause he coached the Saints and I was a Falcons player that’s why I’m saying what I’m saying," he added. "I just watched the games cause I’m a fan. Your job as a coach is to put the players in the best position to make plays and he didn’t do that."
