Jerry Jones and Sean Payton are friends. Not friendly, but friends.

Jerry Jones also thinks of himself as a tremendous asset to the Cowboys and when he finally does step down, do you think he is going to tell the kid to just hire whoever he wants? I don't.

He is going to want a guy to act as HC and part time GM. Someone he knows and trusts. Payton and Loomis worked very closely on player acquisition in NO and he is a way more qualified GM than what we have been dealing with.

It's very possible Jerry has assured him of an offer being there when we get to that point. The broadcasting thing bridges that gap, which Jerry probably had a big influence over him getting (unless Romo and Witten were coincidences lol).

His "running out of time" comment came on the way out of a one on one dinner with Payton during SB week.

It may not be next year, but I think Sean Payton ends up here eventually, and the "he won't work in this circus" thing doesn't apply.

It doesnt seem like it, but Jerry Jones eventually won't be reporting for active duty every day at some point. The kid on his own without Jerry's sunshine selling leaves the whole family open to being exposed as fraud NFL FO types.....and I'm pretty sure Jerry knows that, and will want to leave things in the hands of a guy like Payton, where the kid can still pretend to be an NFL GM as part of the deal.

I expect MM to get the next two seasons and live out his whole contract, then once Jerry has nothing left to sell to his fan base, he makes the Payton move.

The Saints won't get much if anything for compensation at that point as a perk on our end.

So how does this work. If the Saints own his rights for 1 or 2 more years. I can't remember exactly so for discussion sake let's say 2 years. In the next 2 years Peyton is in the booth broadcasting. At the end of the two years does that mean his obligation to the Saints is over? Or when he leaves the booth and returns to coaching then Saints still own his rights for 2 seasons?

Yeah he probably has a full time med staff keeping him going.....I would if I'm him.

Have patience. Hysterical. I actually don't need him dead. I don't even need him to quit. Just shut up and don't undermine the staff. Give them the best shot to succeed. Stay out of game prep during the week. Let MM address the media....etc... He won't even do that because it has to be about him, and thats what bugs me most because it hasn't worked and he still won't change.
