The daughter of Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton, Meghan, isn’t here for subtlety—she’s here to play. Payton’s kid? Oh, she’s got game. Born into a world where playbooks double as bedtime stories, Meghan cut her teeth interviewing her own dad during New Orleans Saints practices, asking him post-playoff loss questions sharper than a linebacker’s cleats. “It was harder to interview my dad than I thought,” she admitted once, proving she’s got the grit to grill family and foes. Now she is back in the picture with an update.

Announcing her move to Red Envelope Sports (‘RES’) with a caption that screamed more energy than a fourth-quarter comeback, Meghan’s pivot from sports broadcaster to agency rep is the kind of plot twist even Game of Thrones couldn’t script. “Thrilled to welcome @meghanpayton to the RES team!” the agency posted, to which she fired back like Patrick Mahomes launching a Hail Mary: “Can’t wait!!!!” Cue the confetti—or in Broncos Country, maybe some orange-and-blue smoke.

But don’t let the Texas charm fool you—this Pepperdine grad’s resume sparkles brighter than a Super Bowl ring: Emmy-winning producer, FanDuel TV host, and now RES’s newest ace. Think Olivia Pope in shoulder pads, but with better sideline access.

Meghan’s career arc reads like a highlight reel. Cheerleader at Argyle Liberty Christian? Check. NFL Network intern grilling Sean Payton on-air? Check. Emmy for producing the NFL 100 show? Mic drop. But her boldest move yet? Rocking a Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt during the 2025 playoffs—while Dad coached the Broncos.

“Maybe you should send me more Broncos merch,” she clapped back when Sean joked about her loyalty. It’s that fearless independence that makes her RES’s perfect match. Like The Godfather’s Michael Corleone said, ‘It’s not personal, it’s strictly business.’ Except here, it’s all personal—and that’s why it works.

The Payton fam: From cheer squad to power plays 

Red Envelope Sports isn’t just any agency. They’re the shadow GM of the sports world, repping everyone from Olympic athletes to Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (3 years, $2.71M deal, ‘nbd’). For Meghan, joining RES isn’t a career shift—it’s a power play.

With her knack for storytelling and Sean’s gridiron genius, she’s now the bridge between locker rooms and boardrooms. “Alignment is everything,” Sean once said about building teams. Guess the apple didn’t fall far from the playbook.Meanwhile, in Denver, Dad’s cooking up his own magic. Since trading a first-round pick to nab Sean in 2023, the Broncos clawed from 8-9 to a 10-7 playoff berth—their first since 2015.

His secret? “It’s a people business,” he says, and RES gets it. With Meghan in the mix, the Payton legacy isn’t just X’s and O’s; it’s dynasty-building, one relationship at a time.

So, what’s next? For Meghan, it’s drafting her future like a GM on caffeine. For Sean, it’s chasing that second Super Bowl ring. And for Broncos fans? Buckle up. The Paytons aren’t just playing the game—they’re rewriting it. ‘Clear eyes, full hearts…’ Whoops, wrong show. Let’s just say: In Denver, the future’s so bright, you gotta wear shades.
