i willing to put my nuts on the line and say that the contract is done (minus signatures) and as long as drew is not signed he can talk to payton. him and payton are putting game plans together so drew can relay this to carmichael/ vitt.
**i did hear this from my mother in law who works for Dr Finney also...confirming my theory. i know mother in laws arent credible source but its the only way for coach to communicate with the team right now, so it makese sense t me

Would Drew risk alienating his fan base over a little time with Payton? Anybody that doesn't work for the NFL ought to be able to accomplish the same thing.
