Jeff Duncan on Sean Payton 2023

What intrigues me about all of this is Coach Payton could have put all this to bed by saying he will not return here but he has not done that. So, until he says something different I would think the Saints have a shot at getting him back. Because of Loomis being his best friend and how Sean is regarded by the Gulf South Region fans, I would think the Saints have a better chance of getting him than all the other suitors. Again, he could make one statement any time he wants and put this issue to bed. So, why hasn’t he done that?

Payton plays the game and he plays the game better than anyone. His comments on Lamar Jackson reminded me of this. Jackson is nothing he's looking for in a QB, he had a chance to draft him when we were looking at QB's and he didn't. Yet all of a sudden he's intrigued by Lamar Jackson and they'll both be "free agents" at the same time. Bullshirt.

Payton will never say never, he's building up hype. He probably had Duncan write this article as a favor for throwing all that sheet at him over his career. Payton should be forced to come clean up his mess before he's allowed to go play with the other kids but it's not going to happen. He's already tried to leave the team a couple times over the years when we were in much better shape than we currently are. He had all the control and everything he could ask for and still wanted out. Apart from going crazy and offering an ownership stake, we got nothing.
