Payton to take a year off?

rezburna · 01-25-2022, 02:48 PM

I can’t believe Payton did this though. I know he’s going to Dallas.

To say I am surprised is an understatement. But, taking a TV job is far more understandable than circumventing four years remaining on a coaching contract to take a position with another team.

Only when FOX is covering the Cowboys' games. Do you think it is just coincidence that Troy Aikman just left FOX to go to Amazon the day before Payton steps down when FOX has been flirting with Payton for a couple of years?

Wouldn't they have to trade for him in order for that to happen?

If he does he does
That'll be another 1st and a 2nd/3rd minimum.

If he "un retires", expect New Orleans to get serious draft picks. SP is still under contract. IIRC, his deal isn't up until 2026.

Unless he "unretires" back to the Saints. The rumors have been of his "taking a break" from coaching. As you mentioned, he is under contract through the 2026 season so a return would be fairly seamless. A one year interim ala the suspension year perhaps?

We are 70 million plus over the cap. Cam Jordan will soon turn 33. Demario Davis is 33. Marcus Williams and Terron Armstead are both free agents. We have no quarterback. Payton saw the writing on the wall and retired.

The going got tough and he ran away like a little...
