Sean Payton is done as HC for New Orleans.

When and if he "un retires", he'll want a fresh start elsewhere.

Brace yourself for that.

I hope he does
Simple fact is he is done now with the Saints and i would rather Dallas have a bad start to the season and give up multiple picks to the Saints for his services than him join Amazon/CBS and the Saints get nothing

I was working and only just now saw this news. What a b***h.

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...

Last year the Saints were 100 million over the cap and his Hall of Fame QB had just retired. Don't see how this situation is any worse.

Sure it is. Now we don't have a head coach either.

It isn't. Nowhere near as bad as last season. They can immediately clear $88 million in convertible cap without cutting any players nor adding any guaranteed money all through base salary and roster bonus conversions.

Thanks for leaving us with this garbage ass offense.

If everyone was healthy it wouldn't be garbage. Don't forget that factor. What was left AFTER injuries was indeed garbage.

Payton isn’t coming back to the Saints after a year off lol. That’s delusional. Why would anyone take the head coach job if they knew that was the case?
