Couple of things here:
Payton isn’t coaching right now. If he’s ok staying retired the Saints don’t hold the cards to demand a kings ransom for him.
He was already ok being tampered with during the Miami/Brady fiasco. I’m not trading for him and giving up a franchise QB. He was ready to leave NO once Brees was done. Wanted Brady. I could see him wanting Burrow but not wanting to be here without a legit QB.
A legit franchise QB is worth more than a great HC. See Brady and Billy B. QB’s win SB’s. Look at the last 20 SB’s winning QB’s-Brady, both Mannings, Fat Jen, Brees, Mahomes, Wilson and Rogers. That group has won 17/20 SB’s.
He is retired, I would need to know he’s committed long term to coaching before giving up anything for him and I certainly wouldn’t consider giving up Joe. If he’s got at least 5 years left that he wants to coach, and he wants to come to Cincy, I would give up a 1st (should be a late first) and not much else.
