Cards, Texans permitted to interview Sean Payton

It's a big compromise between all parties involved. The Saints aren't stuck in a corner with a tube of lube just waiting to get taken advantaged of. That only happens when you have nothing to bargain with.

The point some are trying to make is not about who carries the most leverage in this situation, but saying the fact we have little to none just doesn't make any sense. We own the rights to the biggest chip in the deal and that counts for something. We're all incentivized to make a deal.

Exactly. That's why we are going to get a decent, fair deal. We aren't going to get anything ridiculous like multiple 1st's. We don't have that much leverage to get it if the team he wants to go to doesn't feel he's worth it. But this is all moot. Each team interested has already been told the same basic thing as far as compensation and all that were granted interviews agreed to those preliminary terms.

Sean's shopping trip continues.

The Chargers are definitely not in the running.

Looks like it's down to Denver, Houston, and Carolina, it's being reported that Arizona doesn't want to give up the picks. So much for my prediction of him going to AZ... lol

Haven't heard that about Arizona ... yet. I have seen this, though. I could see Payton withdrawing interest in the Cardinals if he felt like he wouldn't have the full run with the just hired GM.

If the new Arizona GM doesn't stand for egos, then I can see why Payton crossed them off his list.

"A first-rounder and likely more." More confirmation. The only question is when and where will that first be located.

I am pulling for Sean Payton to take the job in Houston. They have plenty of draft picks so that Sean Payton does not have an empty cupboard. We know that Sean Payton can turn a team around and that team definitely needs to be turned around. I'm from Texas originally and I wouldn't mind seeing him move there. Traffic there is a real b**** though.
