I really don’t see Payton going to Denver and he’s using that spot as leverage for LA or Arizona.

He's not going to Denver. Whatever comp they would've given to NO is with Seattle. If he goes anywhere it's to Phoenix. They'll send this year's and next year's first to NO, who needs it since they don't have one.

I love off-season rumors and insider info. Still trying not to get my hopes up but it’s exciting to be mentioned in all this.

Can not wait till Monday and beyond. This season sucked but the off-season is gonna be interesting and chaotic.

They have SF’s first round pick this year from the Chubb trade to Miami. It’s already been stated by Rap that Saints won’t even let teams interview Payton unless they agree to their trade demands.

What did you want him to do? Intentionally lose and ruin his chance of getting another HC job??

Yes

Fair enough, but Arizona can't enter the picture until Monday and Denver can't beat Arizona's potential compensation. A potential pick between 3 and 5 this year is way better than maybe 28-32 and gives NO an even better slot than if they had their own pick this year. 

We all know that Loomis' real last name is Lucky. If AZ wants Payton, it's like no harm, no foul for him regarding their lost pick.

Then they probably either use the AZ pick on Stroud or trade the pick to another QB-desperate team (like us) and take Johnston after maybe signing Carr.

This isn’t up to the Saints or Loomis, it all depends on where Payton wants to go. He can just as easily retire again if he’s traded to a destination he doesn’t see as a good fit. At this point, it’s all lining up to Denver.

Saints expect to hear from Arizona Cardinals regarding Sean Payton

I just don't see it. Why would Harbaugh go to a division that has Mahomes and Herbert in it with a washed Wilson and no draft picks? He would be out of there in 2 years.

Could, but will he?  Tepper already shoveled out a poo ton to a failed head coach.  Denver's new ownership is eager to throw money at someone, as reported, so money is no object.  They want THE BEST guy (in their minds) for the job.  They will not settle for the #2 guy.  In other words, if it comes down to a bidding war between Denver's ownership and Tepper if they want the same guy, it could get VERY pricey.

When can interviewing for a new head coach start ?  I know all teams must follow the Rooney Rule .   But can we,, say ,,,, interview Harbaugh today while the games going on ?   And 3 others that qualify as Rooney Rule candidates  today as well ?  ( college, high school , nfl , etc )
