The Denver Broncos’ ownership group, which made the decision to fire Nathaniel Hackett this past week, is expected to be “ultra aggressive” in doing whatever it takes to land the head-coaching candidate it wants, league sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

While there is a salary cap on players, there is no salary cap on what owners can spend on a head coach, their staff and the rest of the organization — and the Walton-Penner group that purchased the Broncos last summer is not expected to spare any expense or cut any corners in its effort to upgrade the franchise.<\/p>\n

The Walton-Penner group, determined to buy the Broncos franchise last offseason, paid a record price of $4.65 billion and is expected to use that same energy and determination to land a new coach.<\/p>\n

The most high-profile candidate is former Saints head coach Sean Payton, who will command one of the league’s richest head-coaching contracts. The Saints also will receive draft-pick compensation from the team that hires Payton.<\/p>\n
