Indeed there is, papz. It is definitely a much smaller subset that have been saying the Saints got hosed, but they are out there, mostly on social media.

$17-20 million is no big deal. $17-20 million for 5+ years is (cue up NFL's memo about multitude of coach buyouts)

I glad this chapter is over.

Sean Payton trade grades

Saints: A

New Orleans coming away with a first-round pick in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft AND a 2024 second-round pick for its best head coach in team history is an absolute steal. Payton retired/resigned as the Saints' head coach following the 2021 season after looking around the room and realizing life in New Orleans wasn't as rosy without Drew Brees. Normally, a team trying to trade a disgruntled star player under contract leads to a lower return than the team parting with the star would've hoped. Yet the Saints were able to coerce the Broncos into parting with two top-round picks anyways because of their desperation. Phenomenal job by Saints general manager Mickey Loomis.

New Orleans will now be able to participate in the first round of the upcoming draft after it traded away its own pick to the Philadelphia Eagles a year ago. This trade doesn't completely fix that mistake since this pick will be at the back end of the first round instead of the top 10 like their own pick would have been, but Loomis got within the ballpark of what he could have hoped for when parting with someone who no longer wanted to be a part of the franchise despite not having a crazy amount of leverage.

You know I could almost agree with this had Loomy not traded our 1st rounder away last season, now all of a sudden he's a hero, BS. Point blank BS. We should be setting with all of our picks plus those given up for Payton, but we're not cause of Loomy. He paints a good picture and that's about it. Phenomenal job my a$$.

Re: Payton goes to the Broncos!

Personally, I like the Broncos. They have always been a classy organization and Sean Payton should do wonders there. I wish him well except when we play him. Good luck in Denver Coach!
