Sheez. A second round pick is like, what you would take for him if you wanted him gone out the building TODAY. Like you needed his parking space, and wanted him gone before noon.

Something is kinda "off" about this. It almost feels like the pressure to move Payton might be coming from somewhere inside the Saints organization and not from Payton wanting to leave. Or another possibility -- floating the idea of the "2nd round pick" is what you might say to shake the tree and get the phone ringing with a few offers. Because if you start at the top and flat out say "we want nothing less than two firsts, and a 2nd and a 3rd, plus cash" then no one in their right mind is ever going to call and ask about Payton. They read that in the papers and they just won't even pick up the phone.
