It would be sad if we lost the draft capital that this front office has banked our future on coming from Sean Payton. Which is another thing. How could this front office Gamble as willingly as they did last season without Sean Payton there who is the best poker player and chess player in the house?

Actually, I think this job market is turning out pretty much as he expected. Don't forget that he basically said it was a 70% chance he would be returning to the Fox studio before he ever interviewed the first team. In his interview with his daughter she showed a graphic with the odds for his landing with different teams. He told her she was leaving out returning to the TV gig. I'll also be willing to bet that the front office hasn't been counting on the draft capital being in the picture this season. They know what he would be looking for in a position and also know that almost all of these teams couldn't meet those requirements.

But, we'll see. There's still a chance Arizona will give him the freedom he desires.
