The salary of "Peyton" doesn't affect the saints ability to sign players or coaches because coaches salaries are not under the salary cap. That is why your post is asinine and deserves to be ridiculed. I just figured I would spell it out for you.

Post was about a team that gets really good having to pay its best players alot or too much to retain. It costs those teams usually by being weaker overall.

Payton comment thrown in because I personnaly think he is a prick using his SELF INFLICTED suspension to hold us hostage for ANOTHER raise when he hasn't really done much since his last HUGE raise.

Not saying Payton isn't worth the money, I'm saying the way he got it sucks dick and I view him in a much lower light as a man of character. Don't really care what anyone else thinks, it was humiliating that a coach who has done what he did last year, can get a raise out of it!

zzzzzzzz, I'll take the under on the 50 threads.

I'm thinking 1 or 2 a week. The tard tide recedes in the offseason is a big factor for me.

On the subject I'd say if his health and performance stays on track we'll see a restructure/extension after the 2014 season. The $17-18mil cap hit the next two years steps up to $26-27mil then. He'll be 35 and we'll be able to guage if he is closer to fading or continuing on like Favre. HOFer Fran Tarkenton was no bigger than Brees (when the NFL was a lot harder hitting) and played to 38.

Payton DID NOT hold the organization hostage for a new, bigger contract. The league office voided the extension he signed because of some of the language involved in the contract. Get your facts straight before you come here & make a fool of yourself.

Payton would have not been under contract once the season ended so because of that it forced Loomis & Payton's agent to have to come to terms on a brand new contract. It just so happened that the organization experienced what life without Payton could be like which in return made Sean more valuable as a head coach. The whole situation just so happened to fall that way. It wasn't some calculated plot by Payton to extort more out of the franchise.
