Payton to take a year off?

Just a rumor right now, but, if true, Dennis Allen better get a job offer from the Saints quick like.

We'll deal with the thanking Sean for his time later.

Gotohell and the league truly do hate the Saints. They will stop at nothing to stir up **** for them.

This seems like a reach. I bet CSP is just disconnecting and taking some much deserved full-on R&R time. It's a long offseason - might as well!

The article states that Payton has three years left on his contract but they just say he’ll up and leave to coach somewhere else like it’s actually up to him.

I think Gayle Benson would let him walk away if she was convinced it's what he truly wanted.

CSP is on vacation.

There are a lot of sleazeball journalists out there digging for a "story".

Clickbait.

I will say this though, I believe the idea of Payton retiring way more than him just jumping ship to go coach the Cowboys or Giants. Payton’s well aware of the officiating bias against him, hence quitting the competition committee.

I said in another thread that we will not be going to the Super Bowl again with Payton as coach… the NFL won’t allow it. Maybe Payton’s tired of fighting a losing battle.

Sean has earned and deserves a vacation. Like jp said it's click bait hoping this will make them get a couple of extra dollars from the sponsors who will pay for that crap. :argue:

To be blunt, Goodell is the one who needs to take a year off.

$20 says Payton's going to be the Saints coach in 2022. I'd love some free money from all takers. He's actually under contract through 2026. That FIVE more years. As Major said, this is just the annual clickbait at this time of year.
