Sean Payton is on a trading block...

[Ja Rhule]

No joke...  

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Saints want a second-round pick in exchange for Sean Payton.

A coaching trade has not happened in the NFL since Jon Gruden was traded from the Raiders to the Bucs after the 2001 season, although the Browns and 49ers came close to a deal for Jim Harbaugh two years ago. A second-round pick would be considerably less than what the Bucs gave away for Gruden, but it would likely be just one of a package of picks the Saints ask for in return for their Super-Bowl-winning coach. The Saints appear open to moving Payton, and there should be plenty of teams interested.

[Mr. Scot]

Eagles are said to want him, but reportedly also want John Harbaugh.

I can't imagine the Ravens letting him go.

 

[pstall]

Look for the Colts to make a strong move on him.

[Khyber53]

If no one trades for him, it's going to be a frosty season around New Orleans in 2016. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Something, just sounds so distasteful, presumptuous and crass about all this (think Saints).

Why can't Peyton just play out his contract like any other coach?

[Matthias]

I wonder if the Cowboys would fire their coach who's name escape me, to go after Payton.

[Mr. Scot]

The Colts seem like an option to try for Payton too, but like I said elsewhere, doesn't matter much do they hire if they keep Grigson.

Watching a huge power struggle erupt between Payton and Grigson could be fun though.

If Payton goes,  I believe Brees is gone also.     Would be the end of an era for our division. 

[LUUUUUKE]

If this is true I expect it to be a done deal by the close of business today

I still dont understand how the hell is legal to trade a coach.

[Gazi]

Giants or 49ers?

You can trade players too. Not much of a difference both under contract, just coaches don't get traded as often

If they did; this would be part of the problem with the Colts.

They are too much in love with the big, shiny things (Luck, receivers, RB's and offense), instead of the trenches, and long term, solid planning.

If the real issue's, Pagano doesn't get along with Grigson. Then, what would they expect hiring Sean Peyton?

Either way, they should just give Pagano a chance to build the team.

I think they'd be better off to keep Pagano and dump Grigson, but all indications are that they're going to do just the opposite.

Pagano is supposed to be meeting with Irsay today (assuming he's sobered up from last night).
