George Paton was rewarded for his handiwork with the Broncos.

The Broncos signed Paton, the general manager, to a new five-year contract through the 2030 season, owner and CEO Greg Penner said Friday.

“We are pleased to announce a new five-year contract for George Paton that reflects our confidence in his leadership, vision and the overall direction of our team,” Penner said. “As our general manager, George has demonstrated a strong commitment toward building a winning roster while forming a collaborative and supportive partnership with Sean Payton.

“I’ve enjoyed working with George over the last four seasons and appreciate the alignment we share in positioning the Broncos for sustained success.”

This is a developing story.
