Stokley, Evans, and Mark Schlereth react to Sean Payton\u2019s pointed comments at the owners meeting \u2014 including his jab at Denver sports media for being \u201cimpatient\u201d and not understanding how hard it is to improve a team that\u2019s already good. The guys break down what Payton really meant, how the Jaylen Waddle trade fits into that message, and what the re\u2011signings of key Broncos players say about the roster Payton believes he\u2019s building.<\/p>\n
