We now begin to further see the logic of co-defensive coordinators. The Saints can block either move as being lateral (which I doubt they would do) or be left standing with a DC even after losing one.

On the other hand, division rivals can interview both of our defensive coordinators if we don't risk alienating them by blocking the interview, and then they can hire away whichever one they like, and we get the leftovers. Then we either have to promote that leftover to full DC even though we didn't have the confidence to do it before, or watch them walk away after being passed over. Compare this to a plan where we just pick our favorite, name them DC, they can't interview for an DC positions with other teams, and the other guy remains an assistant and won't have to be demoted if we don't want to promote him when the other leaves.

I don't know - the Chargers have to be feeling some kind of way today.

That jives with what Jim Trotter had said. Staley isn't going anywhere, but there would likely be a shake-up with the staff.

The only way I'm trading Payton to Houston is if they give up that no 2 pick so we can get Bryce Young. A 12th pick isn't enough for me. Houston wants their cake and to eat it too.

No way they do that. Realistically their #12 along with an assortment of other picks is the best we could expect. Arizona isn't letting their #3 go either, so every other 1st available will be either later in 2023 or a 2024 1st.
