Payton goes to the Broncos!

Saints deal Sean Payton to the Denver Broncos for a 7th round pick.

That’s what the headline would be if the Saints had no to little leverage. Let that resonate with you over time and one of these days, you’ll get it.

We got bluffed IMO. It’s not a horrible deal, but we did not extract maximum value in fear of getting nothing back in return.

Why is it everyone else feels we got too much for a coach? Only people that think we got hosed is unsurprisingly a handful of Saints fans. You do the math.

Right there with you, shawnky. We got a fair value.

There’s a stark difference in saying not feeling we got maximum value and getting hosed. You do the comprehension.

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.

Yup. That very real fear of getting nothing in return.

If we had more leverage we wouldn't have had to worry. We'd just say, "Hell no. We'll just trade him to that other team. Oh, wait! There isn't another team. Crap."

You don't get bluffed when you are holding a dead hand.

Agree. I wish we were able to get a bit more from Denver. But I'm sure the time frame to consummate the deal was very tight and it's far from a normal trade situation. And with whispers of the whole Harbaugh thing, Denver may have had extra leverage we were not privy to.
