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

Sean was leaving one way or another.

He wanted out, which is why he was looking for another opportunity before the season was over.

We got something out of it, so I call it a win.

Losing Sean P was never what we wanted, but the man just didn't want to be here.

Dennis Allen was consistently a top performing DC while Payton was here. The idea was to promote from within, as we were not that far off.
