And Carolina wanted two first rounders for McCaffrey. Just cause they want doesn't mean they will get it. Their options are Carolina and Denver right now, and Denver certainly doesn't have that to give.

I think Denver recouped a late first round pick after trading Bradley Chubb to Miami, so they have that at least. Denver's job seems to be more attractive compared to Carolina if I was a head coach, unless you just hate Russell Wilson.

This is my question too--Denver is not in the position to give up two #1s on top of what is still owed to Seattle.

Unless Loomis is agreeing to less for Denver, why would Payton go there with fewer picks, a worse cast, and a tougher division and conference than Carolina? Ok, he'd have Russ but that may just be a halo effect. He'd pick his QBs in Carolina and take a team that Wilks had go 6-6 (could have been 8-4) in a putrid--I repeat--putrid division. He'd have to be high or highly unfortunate to not be in the playoffs every year here.

If I was Payton I would play Tepper and then sign in Denver. I don’t think Denver’s new owner will be as meddlesome as Tepper. 

He'd get a way longer in Carolina than Denver, where the fan base expects Lombardis. Longer time to get paid in Charlotte than in Denver.

Our very on Verge has "sources". But it's not like she has the phone number of somebody working for the NFL who is giving her, and her alone, inside info. Twitter is an abomination ... but we like it because it's 24/7.

Technically we use facebook messenger

Saints do have a lot to lose if they are asking too much, Payton would just sit out next season and then be free of his contract and NO wouldn't get any compensation. 

 

What I haven't seen anyone talking about is another option. Payton goes back to New Orleans and says he's ready to resume his contractual duties as head football coach. I don't think Loomis wants that.

I'm guessing he can't do that, he didn't take a leave, he retired, it's not like they have to keep paying his contract.

They just retain his coaching rights until the contract would have been over, if not, coaches could "retire" any time they wanted just to switch teams, it would be wild.

Also pretty sure they have his rights through the 2024 season, so they do have a lot of power in this as they could force him to sit out 2 more years if they wanted, think that eliminates a lot of leverage Payton could have in it all because at his age, 2 years might be around 20% of the rest of his career.

Knowing how Tepper is, I see either the deal with Payton getting done Friday; or a deal with Dorsey getting done Saturday.

Tepper doesn't strike me as someone who wants a long coaching search, so if he can't get Payton to agree to a deal Friday, I could easily see him being enamored with Dorsey and hiring him on the spot.

Deal with Payton can’t be done Friday. They have to talk to the saints first.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      By strato · Posted

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
