Definitely. No team is giving up multiple 1's for a 60 year old Payton. I don't even think they'll give up a single 1st. And it has to be a team he wants to coach. "Well Sean they better give up two 1st round picks otherwise you're never coaching again." I just can't see that going down.
Then he's not coaching. That's the part you're overlooking. The Saints wouldn't let Lattimore or Kamara just walk away to another team because they don't want to be a Saint anymore. It's a business. Everyone involved (thankfully) understands this.

According to this, Payton signed a 5 year contract right at the beginning of the 2019 season. Depending on how the contract is worded, he either owes the Saints 2 years before he can coach another team (he must completes his 5 year obligation) or he can't coach another team until after the 2024 season (must sit out this season and next season).
We know he's not coaching this season, but to get back on the sideline next season, the new team would still have to compensate the Saints.
