Saints Want First-Rounder For Sean Payton
2 years agoFormer New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, who remains under contract with the team, said that if he takes a head-coaching job, the team that hires him will have to give the Saints a mid-to-late first-round pick. "Mickey Loomis and I have talked already about it. I think ultimately the compensation for the Saints will be a mid- or later first-round pick," Payton said. The head coach will interview with the Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos and Houston Texans for their vacant head-coaching positions this week. All four of those clubs have already accepted that compensation for Payton is part of the deal.
