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.

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.

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.

Tepper could offer him more

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.

    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre. 
    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
