Looks like Quinn is the favorite for the Broncos job now. If it's to push someone it's Carolina. He's already one of the highest paid broadcasters on Fox at like 10m per for part time work basically.  

Everybody that I've seen name a favorite for the Broncos job names Payton.

I was thinking about this actually. IF the current front runners are are Steichen, Payton, and Wilks, there's nothing else we can do with them this week (except hire Wilks, but they can keep him on the backburner since it doesn't look like anyone else has interest in even bringing him in). In that case, they may decide to speak to another candidate or two just because it seems like we're in a holding pattern (especially if Steichen is the top candidate).

I wouldn't mind bringing in Raheem Morris for an interview. Prior HC experience, a defensive mind but like Evero spent a few years on the offensive side as WRs coach and pass game coordinator under Dan Quinn.

Good points. It does give me hope Tepper is leaning toward Steichen

On Albright's most recent broadcast, his words on our situation were that he doesn't know if Payton really wants Carolina, or if Carolina really even wants Payton.

 

Interesting kinda like Harbaugh

but he’s just saying “he thinks”

Dallas?

Could be.  Jerrah as much as said he was going to fire McCarthy when he gave him his endorsement after the game Sunday.

But that aside, the rumor/speculation of Payton to Dallas has gone on since Payton stepped aside in New Orleans.  It would not surprise me to learn McCarthy was either fired, stepped down, or was perhaps moved "up" in the organization, despite of Jerrah's endorsement.

That same rumor/speculation has been going on with the Chargers, but as @Mr. Scot said, that seems to be unlikely given what they have done since their playoff exit.  Still, one never knows.

Your anti-Payton bias is annoying. Can you at least be fair in your reporting?

It's ridiculous. He turns a complete deaf ear to anything other than what he wants to hear. 

Ben Albright has been catastrophically wrong so many times but Scot takes him as the holy gospel.

Our buddy John Ellis mentioned another possibility, specifically that this could be another leak from Payton's agent.

I’ve seen Quinn listed as the favorite as well and Albright just says “he thinks” Carolina doesn’t want him. Basically we don’t know anything. I still don’t think Payton will be here, but it’s not impossible.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
