re: Dianna Russini reporting there is a team "waiting in the wings" on CSP ready to swoop in

Not that I want him back, but maybe Payton goes back to the Saints in 2024 once the inevitable 2023 shitshow under Allen is done and the Saints end up with a high draft pick where you might be able to grab a quarterback. After all, Payton suggested through Duncan he’d be willing to come back. Of course, he’s openly pined this season for a few jobs other people held or still currently hold.

I don’t think he ends up with the Raiders because the Raiders are reportedly cash-poor and can’t afford to just eat the McDaniels contract and pay Payton what he wants.
