Saints open to trading Payton (1 Viewer)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

uh,yeah. Because with skills like his,who wouldn't give up draft picks?  

A light at the end for Ingram dynasty owners maybe.....he'll probably go to the Niners and ruin Hyde now. 

According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the Saints would be open to trading head coach Sean Payton this offseason.

The Saints are 5-8 this season and it appears that Drew Brees, who has one year remaining on his contract, might not be long for New Orleans. The same goes for Payton as the Saints appear to be headed for a full-fledged rebuild. With ownership questions and a tricky cap situation to contend with, getting Brees' contract off the books could save New Orleans a much-needed $40 million. Payton was pursued by the Dolphins and 49ers last offseason before agreeing to a five-year extension through 2020. With Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh reportedly uninterested, Payton could be a name to watch as the Rams look to fill their head coaching vacancy.

Maybe he can tell his new team how accurate Drew Brees was.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I would take him as as HC in a heartbeat if I were the Rams. The Rams should go after that trade.

 

[Ghost Rider]

You have to wonder how much teams would give up for a guy who is 19-26 in his last three seasons.

Maybe a bag of footballs and a blocking dummy. I'm sure Mark Ingram would pay somebody to take Payton

 

[RenegadeGM]

Yeah, and the Texans are open to trading Brock Osweiler, too.

 

[msudaisy26]

Sad part is someone is going to do it, I wouldn't give a late round pick for the guy.

We'll see, they said the same thing last offseason.

Weren't  a couple teams close until he signed an extension?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Quote of the day.

With a good defense that could be a good fit but without Brees I question how effective the offense would be - especially with his clock mismanagement and curious tendancies to move away from his elite players for extended periods. 

Yeah - Rams fans probably wouldn't want him either.

I just want to see the reaction of Gurley owners if this happens. 

 

[msudaisy26]

I just want to see the reaction of Gurley owners if this happens. 

How about the reaction of Gurley himself.

Gurley " Hey coach glad to have you, ready for you to revamp this playbook and get us in the endzone"

Payton " Well, you are going to need to share that playbook, I just signed Asiata to take half your carries and all the goal line work and Ronnie Hillman to take take all the passing downs, but you will be fresh for golf and watching the playoffs on television"

They have the draft picks to do so... Trading Sam Bradford essentially for Payton. Would be quite a deal.

That would be quite a deal for the Rams, trading another teams QB for a coach.

Oopps!! Here I thought the Rams traded him to MIN... I forgot that PHI and STL swapped QBs 

 

[Conan Troutman]

You have to wonder how much teams would give up for a guy who is 19-26 in his last three seasons. 

The Rams might as well change their name to LA 7-9ers if they give up a draft pick for Payton.

 

[Interseptopus]

Considering how many teams will be looking for a coach, he could be the best name available.

I still think Josh McDaniels is by far the best coach on the market and I am hoping GB gets rid of McCarthy and signs him. I think he fell victim to the Tebow thing and never had a chance to succeed. 

Payton could be a big name though... Someone like Jacksonville, LA, or even Buffalo, Jets if their positions become open... Payton would be much better than other retreads out there. 

I happen to think Payton is very over rated and I'd be surprised if a team traded a lot for him- he's living off of his early success where much of the work was done for him. He's essentially taken a great franchise and run them into the ground. 

 

[FF Ninja]

I believe the Jets traded Edwards away after a 4-12 season, so these things can happen.

 

[JohnnyU]

I'd rather have the picks, whatever they would be.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

San diego will trade you mike mccoy straight up

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

lol

 

[jabarony]

I'd trade for him, then demote him to OC.

 

[J R]

You could shuffle around half the league's coaches and it wouldn't even matter.

 

[QuizGuy66]

maybe Hue Jackson can trade for him
