Coach salaries aren’t typically made available because they don’t count against a team’s salary cap, but if the Payton numbers are accurate, he’d be in an elite class of head coach salaries. Rams coach Sean McVay reportedly makes around $15-to-$17 million a season, while Patriots boss Bill Belichick is the only other coach rumored to make around $20 million
What is Sean Payton’s salary?
Well, Payton will be coaching in 2023, with the Denver Broncos, and for a nice chunk of change. The deal to acquire the former Saints coach was expensive in a few different ways. The Broncos ponied up a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 second-round pick for the rights to Payton. Then, they had to anted up the cash on a new deal.
According to reports, Payton is set to make between $17 and $20 million per season as Broncos head coach. That puts him at the very top of coach salaries across the league. The Broncos also reportedly owe Nathanial Hackett another $12 million over four years, so you can tack on another $3 million per season for coaching expenses in Denver.
