Payton now with three suitors/ Cardinals, Texans and Broncos

I'd cough up a draft pick for a HC like McVay who can lead my franchise for the next decade plus. I'd even be tempted to give up a draft pick for a guy like Belichick. I just dont understand giving up draft capital for a Sean Payton, and that is zero disrespect to Payton.

The Texans are the biggest project of those teams maybe but he’d have tremendous draft capital and cap flexibility in a state with zero income tax and an ownership group that would likely pay him top top dollar.

It’s really not as bad a gig as it seems if he is the real deal and I’m sure he’s confident in himself

Id got Arizona tbh, more to work with. The Texans he'll have to build from scratch, and the broncos are low on draft picks

And Payton, if it's the Texans, (by some wow surprise) would have the 2nd overall pick in the NFL draft.
There's supposedly at least two very highly regarded expected to be at the very top of the first round.

Yeah McVay traded away the rams picks so good luck to the next coach. lol

Just to think some posters think he's still an option for the Cowboys........do you see paying an HC any of the salaries below?

a waterboy in the NFL makes either minimum wage or around $53,000 a year.

If we lose Jerry will panic and make the move

He doesn't want to go to the Texans.

Why? Ton of cap space a boat load of draft picks because the Watson trade and low expectation in the 1st couple of season.

He wants an established QB

JMO, but the Texans are an interesting team. They played close games and have a better roster than most think. With their salary cap situation and a bucket full of extra draft picks, they can turn things around fairly quickly under the right head coach.

I would head to Houston waaaaaaaaaay before I would go to Denver.

Because, believe it or not, Cal McNair is worse than Jerry Jones. His Father, Bob, was better with the team, but Cal appears to be a complete baffoon. And I know lots of Texans fans and they agree. They wish Cal would go away! LOL

Yeah, which teams have top QB's whose HC is in trouble? Houston with the 2nd overall and Chicago not likely to take a QB you have the chance to take top QB in the draft.

Living in Houston I would not dispute that. However I still think it is the best chance to turn a program around.

Unless they have to give it to New Orleans to obtain his rights. Asking price for Payton is going to be more than a 1st rd pick.

If a team wants to win by spending money, coaching is the place to do it. No salary cap on staff. Giving up draft picks for a coach seems risky though.
