no way am i giving the saints even a 7th rounder and taking his contract after the last 4 years.


Again, as I stated, they wouldn't be giving up any compensation.

Also, they could renegotiate his contract, or part of the deal would be that we pay a percentage of it. Even if its 2 million a year we are paying, that way more palatable than paying him 30+ million not to coach here.

It is time for everyone to move on.

what you're saying doesn't make any sense. why would Payton agree to this? if we're not getting any compensation, then he's still under contract with the saints. he's not going to go elsewhere for less money just because it's time for him to go. he'll make them fire him and get paid and then go be a FA and pick his spot.

Yeah but they still have to pay the contract, which SP is clearly not worth at this time.

The problem is we don't have anyone in that building who cares about the on-field product.

Mr. Benson is no longer coherent, and Mrs. Benson could give a crap about football. The entire Benson empire is basically being run by Dennis Lauscha. I've met Dennis. Great guy, very smart. But he's a beancounter, and his sole concern is growing the value of ALL of the empire. The Saints (and Pels) continue to grow value at a high level. So, that's what matters. As long as the money comes in... that's all that matters.

Mickey doesn't appear to do anything for the Saints or Pels at this point. He surely ain't gonna fire SP. SP is making all the personnel decisions of note. He's making all the coaching decisions. And he's hamstrung with a bunch of crappy contracts, crappy drafting, and dead money (most of which is of his doing).
