"If it was during the season, you wouldn't go through the procedure," Payton said. "He'll start up training camp with no problem."

We all have backs.

It's just a simple disc surgery and they probably just want to make sure he doesn't hurt himself picking up the Super Bowl trophy.

Yeah, there is no way the Saints would sign him and give him all that money if he wasn't good to go.
