Sean Payton accused Seahawks of 'Spygate' cheating, filming Broncos practice
The Seahawks collected fans videos posted from Broncos training camp in 2024, and Sean Payton accused them of cheating, according to Mike Macdonald.
Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton accused the Seattle Seahawks of cheating during the 2024 NFL offseason, according to Seattle coach Mike Macdonald. Macdonald revealed that the Seahawks had compiled around 100 plays from Broncos practice videos that fans had posted on social media. Payton reportedly discovered this and threatened to make it public, branding it as another Spygate scandal.
He reportedly called Seattle general manager John Schneider, threatening to expose the information. Macdonald claims Payton believed the Seahawks had planted a fan to record videos at the Broncos' practice. However, the Seahawks actually gathered fan videos publicly posted online. In response to Payton's allegation, the Seahawks threatened to sue him as his claim was not true. Payton eventually backed down, and the story was not made public until Macdonald disclosed it.
