Sean Payton said trade compensation to the Saints for his services likely will start with a mid to later forst-round draft pick
If the Cardinals decide they want to make Sean Payton their next head coach, they might not have to give up the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft to the Saints to make it happen.
Payton, 59, stepped down as coach of the Saints following the 2021 season but remains under contract with the team for next two years, meaning any club that hires him will have to reward New Orleans with some sort of agreeable trade compensation in the form of a draft pick or picks. Houston holds the No. 2 overall pick ahead of Arizona, Carolina has the No. 9 pick and Denver has the No.28 selection. Although it will be Mickey Loomis, the Saints’ executive vice president and general manager who negotiates the compensation package, Payton suggested teams that are interested in him could get creative in what they offer Loomis.
The Cardinals, for instance, could offer the Saints the third pick in the second round of this year’s draft and perhaps another pick in a later round or an addition second- or third-round pick in 2024.
