Nope, nope, just NOPE. Not worth it.
Here's what the Saints want in return for Payton. I can't even believe the Panthers have already agreed to these terms just to interview him. They have to be stupid.
What a Panthers trade for Sean Payton might bring to the Saints (msn.com)
2023 first round pick (No. 9) 2023 second round pick (No. 60) 2023 fourth round pick (No. 113) 2023 fourth round pick (No. 130) 2024 third round pick 2024 fourth round pick
That’s a big haul, and there’s room to negotiate some of those mid-round picks down a frame or two. But it leaves Carolina with the coach they covet most while still owning picks in rounds two (No. 39), three (No. 92), five, and seven, as well as most of their 2024 selections (including, most critically, each of their picks in the top two rounds). New Orleans ends up with five picks inside the first 114 slots and the means to reshape their roster or climb the board higher targeting a game-changing prospect. Their 2024 draft class is also fortified, which is important since the Saint won’t have a second rounder after trading it to the Philadelphia Eagles.
