Would like to make one suggestion concerning Payton.
We need to remember that whichever team he lands with, he will understand that teams core value and its collection on draft picks over at least the next two years. So whatever a team gives up to get him, affects him.
While he will probably get 10 million a year (heck he walked away from 8.5), I believe he will choose the team that he sees as having the best opportunity to win both right away and for the near future. He is no dummy, he will look at every aspect, every detail. And he will accept the team he feels will be the best this year, next year and the year after.
Now the question is, which team is that?
This also includes his feelings with the entire front office including that of the owner.
