New Orleans Saints could trade Sean Payton and not ask for much in return
 

The New Orleans Saints, mired in another non-winning season, could decide to trade away coach Sean Payton and not ask for much in return, according to a CBS Sports report Sunday.

The report said a trade could happen "should there be suitors," and that the Saints "may be undergoing a front office restructuring of sorts."

"I don't think it would take all that much to get him, actually," one source said in the report. "I don't think (general manager) Mickey (Loomis) would hold him back or ask for all that much in return at this point."

Payton last offseason signed a five-year contract through 2020 reported to be in excess of $45 million, which at the time appeared to put to rest any talk about him leaving the Saints at any point in the near future.

But, with the Saints at 5-8 and assured of at least a third consecutive season without a winning record, another potential trade report similar to those that popped up late last season has come.

It is not that I think SP is a bad coach, I just think he needs a reboot

It'll be either LA or Dallas when he goes...

But don't let Loomis handle the negotiations should this become a reality...

Was glad to see columnists on Eric Asher's show finally saying that Loomis is a liability, doesn't evaluate talent well, lacks the backbone to check Payton on personnel moves - things that some of us have been beating the drum about for four+ years...

I doubt he is going anywhere. With that said, if the 2017 season turns out this way, then all bets are off for the coaching staff and front office.

Dallas ?! To become a puppet? He would have zero control.

Highly unlikely.

IDK...I still see 2017 being the final make or break year. Brees will have 1 more year. Either we start a upwards trend and make the playoffs next year or we continue to be mediocre or worst, but either way 2017 is it.

He'll straighten things out over the off season I believe. I read his book and he just needs some new influences with new faces in coaching and pro scouting to get back on track. I will not give up on him.
