I can't believe some of you here would settle for anything less than multiple first-rounders, plus, plus, plus.

Sean Payton is widely viewed as the top HC candidate in years - a lock to turn a franchise's fortunes around and build a sustainable winning program for decades to come.

Probably because if you price teams out this offseason he signs where he wants for nothing the year after when the contract is up

There is precedent for multiple firsts. I didn't make up the number.

Gruden went for 2 1's and 2 2's.

Yes, other HCs have been traded for less, but Gruden is the best apples to apples.

Just as there is a precedent for overpaying for a franchise QB. Eerily similar costs historically.

You're going to have to show your work on that one Smash.

Easy peasy.... Russell Wilson and Deshawn Watson.

Then your cost analysis is incomplete!

Depending on where SP goes, he could also have a mediocre year. Does that mean he wasn't worth the price paid?

Yes... but we don't care, do we, as Saints fans? The Hershel Walker trade was monstrous and not worth it for the team that got him. But the team that benefited the most got all those draft picks. We are in that now enviable seat, except it's for a highly marketable HC. We SHOULD get value for this. The last thing we want is a Ceedy Deuce type trade. Teams are going to try for that, of course. But some team will buckle and pay the price.
