I don't know about Romeo, who knows if he even wants to coach next year. You would think Payton would want an younger guy wanting to make a name for himself over a guy at the end of a career

Yeah, but my thinking is Payton has always tried to pattern the Saints after the Patriots, and grabed some of their players. It would also make sense if he looked at their DC, when they won SB's. I can see SP being interested in Crennel, and even talking to BB about it.

I think Payton wants a "Right Now" kind of guy.
The Brees high-octane offensive window won't be open very long.
We need defense like right now. Two-three years for some up and comer
to get his defense straight may be too late. Romeo being a Belichick boy is
right up Payton's alley. He knows exactly what he's getting.
Besides that, Crennel will look pretty good too if we go real deep with him on board.
Two more Superbowls in the next four years wouldn't look bad at all.
