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

Well, we disagree then because the only team who really pursued Payton was Denver. I thought we'd get more for him at the time, but in retrospect, we got pretty much all we would. There were never any reports of other teams bidding for his services.

So, that's like your opinion man.
No doubt it's only an opinion, but ask yourself this:

If Loomis demands more from Denver, even if it means keeping our 3rd rd pick, do they say, "nah, we're good, we'll go with our second choice"? I highly doubt it but have no inside info.
