nope.... tells it all in just one verse.

The whole song is based on loyal, dedicated fans, demanding excellence from a PROFFESIONAL SPORTS/ENTERTAINMENT organization. Some seem to remain under the hypnosis of wishful thinking that everything will just sort itself out if we just sit back and fork over our money, while no meaningful adjustments are made. These fans will continue to find excuses to justify the continued poor performance, and may actually enjoy the abuse. That psychology is above my pay grade.

After what we just witnessed this season, and at this time of the year, when other teams advance into the post-season, we need to be seeing some radical changes and adjustments being made. It's not happening. I just cannot sing "Kumbaya" when thinking about what our next season is going to look like.

That gets them literally nothing in return. They cannot play one suitor against another because Payton is the one that gets to choose where he wants to go. The Saints literally have little to no leverage. Payton carries by far the most leverage, followed closely by the individual team of his choice. The Saints pull up the rear in the leverage race by a good margin.
Supply and demand. The fact that he's a hot commodity is advantageous to the Saints. That creates leverage especially if we can pin two teams against each other. You've made the assumption that Sean is only going to give us one choice to fit your narrative.

Owning his rights is the single most important leverage there is. If we have no leverage, you're basically saying we have to take whatever the opposing team is willing to give us or risk not getting any compensation at all. That's not how it's going to work. That doesn't make any damn sense.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

I've tried unsuccessfully to explain this to Guido several times.

It's not MY assumption and it's not MY narrative, papz. There is only going to be one team. Payton has already said he's looking for the best situation for him and if he doesn't find it he'll return to the studio job at Fox. Once he selects that one team Loomis said they will work out the final details. There has already been a basic understanding of the deal prior to Payton even interviewing each of the teams.

And, no, and yes. No we do not "have to take whatever the opposing team is willing to give us". We can take what was already agreed upon before they were given the okay to speak with Payton. And, yes, "risk not getting any compensation at all." That IS the way it works.

And yes it makes sense when you have limited leverage (only the ability to withhold the rights).

I fully understand economics. I aced all four semesters of it at LSU-S. Supply and demand requires an open market, meaning there has to be multiple buyers. There aren't in this case for the Saints. There is one single buyer and that's the buyer that Sean Payton chooses, if he chooses one at all. On the other hand, the team that Payton chooses has access to multiple products (head coaching candidates) from different sources. They can keep all of their draft capital and make a different coaching hire if they so choose.

And I'm nowhere near the only one pointing out these facts.

Once again, I would absolutely love it if the Saints were in a position to shop Payton like they could a player without a no trade clause. But they aren't.

Honestly you have a point. Look no further than when the paper bags were all over the dome.

Not econ Guido. The simple fact that the Saints could hold more leverage than you're willing to account for.
