MICHIGAN FLOATED $30 MILLION PACKAGE TO PAYTON

A league source tells us that the initial discussions between Michigan and Saints coach Sean Payton included reference to a financial package worth $30 million over ten years.

Payton, however, had no interest in the job, and the talks went no farther.

As we've previously said, each passing day without a hire in Ann Arbor leads us to believe that A.D. Bill Martin is waiting for an NFL coach. If Cam Cameron is fired by Miami, it could be him. There also have been rumblings about the possibility that Michigan will pursue Marvin Lewis of the Bengals and/or Mike Shanahan of the Broncos.
