Loomis news conference. Most important thing he said, imo
And the Saints have to just roll over and accept? Man, stop it
A 2024 1st is not a bad deal if we can squeeze a 2nd out of that team this season. With Dennis is charge, a 2024 1st might not be the worst thing. 2nd, Payton is only an asset until next year. This is the last year we can play hardball - but not too much. We have to deal Payton this offseason. Next year, teams will know that the Saints HAVE to accept something, there is no hardball next year.
Next year, if Payton says, Im only coming back to coach ________, then that team can offer even less for him, and Loomis can either accept it, or Payton sits one more year and there will be no compensation. So yes, play hardball this year too much, and you will have to roll over and accept whatever they offer next year.
We have to maximize Payton THIS offseason. Even if its accepting a 1 in 2024.
