Why would the Saints have an issue trading Payton within the division? The cap/roster hell they are currently in is entirely his fault. They know Drew Brees isn't going with him. If I'm NO, I welcome him to Carolina if that gets me the best compensation package. [Reply]

The cap hell the Saints find themselves in now is due to mortgaging the future to try to make another run with Brees. Had it not been for the Minneapolis Miracle and the Robey-Coleman non-call in the NFCCG, Payton might have three Super Bowl trophies right now.
Lolololol
Not even close.
Even in 2014, 26% of the teams cap space was dead money from 4 bad deals.
Last year, NO had 43m in dead money and this year had almost 30.
That would be exacerbated with an owner that “demands results” and a HC/GM that loves piling up dead money bad decisions. Especially with a lame duck trash QB soaking up tons of resources. [Reply]

Like, that’s a mark against him in my book.
When is he supposed to interview? These HC'ing hires get wrapped up quickly. Nobody wants to wait until after the Super Bowl if they don't have to because all of the best assistant coaches will be poached already.
Denver media is expecting to know who the next head coach is by next Monday or Tuesday. [Reply]
I just got off the phone with Coach Harbaugh and Jim shared with me the great news that he is going to remain as the Head Coach of the Michigan Wolverines. That is fantastic news that I have communicated to our Athletic Director Warde Manuel. #GoBlue! pic.twitter.com/3LJzsv4zN9
