Sean's own public statements indicate that he's far more interested in going to a good organization, with a good front office and good leadership. I don't think he cares about quarterback so much, since those can always be replaced.
Well then he can go to the colts where he will have the opportunity to do that every year!
I would think that would rule out the Cardinals since they're a hot mess of an organization, although I suppose he'd be able to pick his own GM and get full roster control easily there.
The Cardinals are full on cleaning house. Sean might be more willing to go there than to other teams which have far more set in stone situations.
I 100% believe that this year is a meme season for the 49ers. It'll be a thing where they end up winning the Super Bowl, everyone will be on board, then he'll shit the bed in the beginning of the 2023 season. It won't last.
It looks like Denver is the front runner for the Sean Payton race but this could just be a play to get a deal with Arizona
Its in the Saints best interest to encourage a bidding war to get the maximum return.
The Colts already being out makes me think that Irsay wouldn't give Payton roster control and is actually intending to let Chris Ballard keep his job, at least for another year.
TBF Irsay is probably gacked out of his mind on pills most days.
Broncos would be the best landing place for him overall.
If they win the Super Bowl, Purdy should just retire so his legend stays intact. Anyways as a Niner's fan I'm rooting for them of course, if they're out then I'll probably pull for the Vikings to win the NFC just because they're the only team in the NFC playoffs without a ring. AFC honestly I'd be fine with anyone but the Chiefs or Ravens winning, but pulling for the Bengals mainly.
Purdy returns from the mist from whence he came, and to this day we still speak of his legend.
The Broncos are probably in the front running for him, but the Saints are probably pulling for him going to Houston. Based on the draft capital each team could offer, the Broncos could actually offer the second least to the Saints. Neither Arizona nor Houston will part with their Top 3 picks for Peyton (who would want those picks to remain with those teams so that he would have something to play with), but Houston also has the Number 12 pick of the draft. As these possible trade proposals shows, this is probably the best deal the Saints could get for Sean that would allow them to pick high in this draft, as the highest pick the Saints could score with Broncos would be number 29, which is not ideal. However, the Texans are a very dysfunctional team, and it might be a longshot for Peyton to consider going there.
Honestly, considering the past 2 seasons with Lamar's injuries and possible fake injuries, I would just put some tags on him until he RG3's himself. Then you just rebuild again.
