Sean Payton: Saints and Broncos worked hard to agree on compensation for me (1 Viewer)

Loomis did they best they could on this one. He got his butt handed to him a couple times by Philly but this one isn’t his fault. Again, I can bash Mickey a bunch but this isn’t one of them.

True, but he needs to kill it with that no 29.

I agree, however a failure at #29 would be unrelated to the trade process itself.

Both events represent separate transactions.

Seems the Walmart family got Loomis to roll back the price.

Y’all don’t get it. Gayle chose Brees over Payton. That was the end.

Well I’m glad Loomis helped Payton be the coach for a team he really wants to be with. He’s such a good friend.

More like they got Sean Payton from the bargain bin.

It’s hilarious to me how the Broncos are leaking to the media how they want the public to view how it went down.

The Broncos didn’t have other options. Harbaugh didn’t want them. Ryans didn’t want them. Quinn literally chose returning to be a DC over them.

I don’t doubt Loomis started high. That’s how all negotiations work. But Denver media reporting it like they played hardball to negotiate it down is hilarious.

This was always how it was going to end.

This could be true. I think Payton left because we went all in during Brees window, and it's time to rebuild. Payton wants none of that.

I do remember the report that Brady was coming to New Orleans, and then Brees decided to come back for one last year. If we picked Brady, the most probable outcome is Brady would have still retired this year. Payton wouldn't have much time left on his contract. He would still bolt for a team with a QB/cap space.

One thing I like about this video timeline is you can tell how Denver (and maybe Payton) tried to manipulate the Saints via the media. Triplett sniffed it out, which you can tell about halfway through.

This guy played his best friend Mickey Loomis lol.

Wouldn’t say that, Denver just didn’t have much to give. **** happens in life

Mickey helped out his buddy. We shouldn’t have had to give any picks back and we should’ve gotten the first for next year. Loomis,DA, and PC can go expeditiously.

So he goes to the Broncos who mortgaged their future for a QB in his mid 30s and then gave away more draft capital to land Payton? He has a bigger rebuild there so I'm not getting that narrative. I guess time will tell but I have my doubts about that franchise's leadership.

IMHO, I think he wanted a break. He had a year to recharge his batteries so to speak and then he got the itch to get back in.

And I also believe he wanted a change of scenery.
