I read the article and it doesn't really say anything. Payton and Brees aren't coming back---LET IT GO!! Payton will have much better options than the over the salary cap, no QB having Saints.
It says a source close to SP said SP would be open to a return if things go sideways with DA (narrator: they already have) and the source ranked the saints as the number-1 most likely destination for SP to coach in 2023.
Felt almost like a trial balloon being floated by SP.
