Re: Cards, Texans permitted to interview Sean Payton
 

I've always been of the mind that there's no way Payton and Jones could coexist with the control that Payton demands and the control that the Jones' have always been so reluctant to relinquish. Maybe they are getting desperate enough to make that move. But, as much as they love their draft picks that's going to be a sticking point, as well.

And then there's this on the Cowboys front. I believe that Dallas would have to clear it through the league that they have permission from the Saints before making any contact with Payton. This is what cost Miami a first round pick this year.

The New Orleans Saints are in such a deep hole that they desperately need Sean Payton to take a job this year. Let's just hope he doesn't take Jeff Ireland with him.

It seems no team wants Payton because of draft picks they would have give. He should come back to the Saints. Maybe that's why Loomis is keeping Allen and Carmichael.

Frank Reich hired as the new Carolina Panthers Head Coach.

Frank is a solid hire for the Panthers.

The NFC South just got a little bit tougher.

Which seems bizarre considering Loomis said "every team asking about Payton is aware of the compensation required to get him."

Now all of a sudden teams are acting like this is new information.

With Reich off the market, I feel like there's a bit more impetus on Denver to land CSP.
