I have to assume these are the top 5 names as of right now. Obviously ton can change until the end of the season but I think I would be happy with 4 of these 5 (don't want a Falcons reject). I'm assuming Sean Payton isn't actually in play here but if so he's gotta be your #1 target.

The sticking point with Payton is he is still under contract with New Orleans and it is going to take draft picks to get him.   If we have the top pick I don't see us giving up that pick for Payton.

Payton feels inevitable from an interest standpoint but probably unattainable practically speaking 

It’d be a sure thing though, especially enticing with a rookie QB

Just thinking through it I feel like he will have better options but also a potential #1 pick to choose whatever QB you want has got to be enticing. Regardless if there is interest he's got to be your first choice.

Saints own the rights to Payton for two more years. We would have to give up draft capital to obtain him. Why would the saints trade him to a in division rival?

Some names to add:

Byron Leftwich - Bucs OC

Thomas Brown - Rams assistant head coach

Kellen Moore - Cowboys OC

Byron scares the hell out of me simply cause Tom Brady. Don't know how rational of a fear that is, but McDaniels doesn't look great in his second try as a HC now

Draft capital is most likely, but it doesn't HAVE to be draft capital. Tepper could write a fat check to the Saints for his rights. I don't know why the Saints would do that but it is possible.

I'd bet my last damn dollar that Tepper goes for an offensive coach.

You don't watch this team for the last 3 years, see the offensive output, and don't hire someone that is considered an "offensive genius."  That will be by far the #1 thing he looks for because right now, the goal for the Panthers is to put asses back in seats.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
