Re: SP Putting Together a Staff
The market sets the price. If the team that Payton chooses refuses to offer more than a 2nd rounder then that isn't on the Saints. They have limited leverage. What would you propose they do in that instance?

He's also the best HC available so yeah, they should ask for multiple 1st round picks. |

Re: SP Putting Together a Staff
I agree. They should ask for multiple 1st rounders. It doesn't mean that the other team is ultimately willing to give them what they want. I also believe the reason why others DIDN'T qualify to interview is that under no circumstance did the Saints want him going to them (Panthers and Falcons). I have read others that feel like they'd be willing to take less if he was to go to the AFC. That make sense and I'd have to agree.

Re: SP Putting Together a Staff
One more point on a mention earlier in the thread concerning player trades. Player trades were frozen for the league year on November 1st and remain frozen until after the end of the league year on March 14th. Therefore, the earliest date a player can be traded is March 15th.

Re: SP Putting Together a Staff
Just repeating what I have heard recently by several former GM's. They have all said he would be totally off-limits to a division rival regardless of price and that they would settle for less out of conference if they were the Saints.

Re: SP Putting Together a Staff
You are assuming there is an open market available to the Saints. There isn't. There is a market for Payton. Payton has the ability to shop around for the best deal. The Saints do not have that option. They are limited to a single customer chosen by Payton.

Unless there is more than one destination SP has interest in.
