Wait a minute, didn’t I just read the exact opposite of this 5 articles ago?

I guess I shouldn’t mind, like the buses, there will be another one along in a minute or two.

If I were running a team that might be interested in him as a coach, I would be arguing with the league that this is an unfair move, as this doesn’t allow anyone else the chance to negotiate a deal. If he’s suspended, he shouldn’t be allowed to have ANY contact with any team, until said suspension ends. If he’s allowed to negotiate with one team, all teams should be allowed.

It’s probably because the league saying “We’re deciding this extension is invalid mid-season and you have no chance to sign a new one before your coach hits the market” would probably look really bad.

Saints should offer and, Payton should accept, a contract offer that is exactly as the one he signed last September, except remove the clause concerning Loomis and ADD a clause that provides for a $7 million “signing bonus” when he signs the contract extension.

Basically he should get back the $7,000,000.00 that Roger Goodell “stole” from him this year.

“Remember that chumps, the next time you try to tell us that Belichick owes his success to Tom Brady.”

Well, he did go 11-5 with Cassell at QB (which, in turn, ruined half the AFC West the next few years).

Adam Schefter keeps reporting we can’t, it totally wouldn’t help their eSPN hype machine of Sean to Dallas if this was resolved before Super Bowl.

Note to Schiano: manage a .500 season, do something unethical and somewhat against league policy, serve a suspension, and maybe you too will get a raise!

Sincerely, a Buccaneer fan.

So apparently all you Saints fans feel that their 2-5 record is due to Payton’s absence?

Remember that chumps, the next time you try to tell us that Belichick owes his success to Tom Brady.

I hope that they start the negotations y giving him the $7 million the Goodell stole from him. He has a right to make a living. Does anybody out there know of anyone that got suspended from work for a year with NO PAY. I cant stand Roger Goodell!!! He is ruining our game!!

Payton’s extension on his contract was void ONLY because of the clause in which he stated that he would remain as coach ONLY if Loomis remained. Loomis is remaining. Brees is remaining. Payton will remain. End of story.

Geaux Saints!

Exactly right. Payton isn’t leaving Brees. And this team will bounce back with Sean next year & he knows it.

Maybe they can negotiate a peaceful surrender from the perp. Send in some Vicodin and vodka with a surveillance robot.

I don’t mean to pile on the Saints, but that makes no sense. Wasn’t he suspended from the Saints and told no contact of any kind was allowed with anyone on the team/front office? That is what I understood when his suspension was handed down. I believe that he would not be allowed to discuss contracts with any team until he is reinstated by Goodell.

That said, it would seem that IF anybody would be allowed to contact him, it would be the OTHER teams since, at a minimum, the Saints would have to wait until after the Super Bowl and he may have already fulfilled his coaching responsibilities for all games he is allowed to coach through his contract duration.

I think that would be an unfair disadvantage to the Saints but they could take his contract status to court to verify if this year counts or not. (If it is listed as 2012 vs. x number of years then they have tough sledding).

I guess Roger Goodell could grant special permission like he did with the Brees/Unitas record breaking game. That would be the only way any Saints fans would ever even tolerate the Commissioner at all.
