Dennis Allen - HC

Jim Haslett - HC
Mike Ditka - HC
Pete Carmichael - OC
Steve Spagnuolo - DC

I hate to say it, but off the field and out of the salary cap, we are not a very talented organization. We had one hit wonders but have floundered back to mediocrity.

Salient point. Maybe it also shows that retreads aren't the answer. We should have given the opportunity to an up and comer, like SP was when hired. I think it also shows that given SP's record , he should command very high trade value . Can't wait to see just how high the bidding will become.

Do either of them have picks to trade? I can’t see SP going to Denver. But maybe AZ.

They've got picks, but I doubt they are willing to pony over what Saints fan would like to see.

Arizona has the 3rd overall pick. Stroud on the way.

Now this I can see given Houston has two #1's. But would Payton be willing to go there over other possibilities?

What Rez said & I agree on Denver.

Add the Texans (per Peter Schrager) to the mix as well.

They have 2 1st rounders (#3 and #12).

This is what I've been saying all along. There's not going to be a bidding war. Payton will pick the one team he wants to go to and then a deal will be made.
