Was the Saints' Front Office (e.g., Loomis) Fleeced on the Sean Payton Trade?

Ok...then he stays retired

You own it...you set the value, if they're willing to pay....great, if not oh well...I'll keep it.

But what you're not going to tell me is what you think it's worth then demand I give it to you at that low arse cost.

I don't really see the point of that when we would get nothing for him a year later, but I also would have been ok with it because he made his decision to leave so he can sit at home and not coach.
