There’s a distinct possibility Sean Payton passes on the multiple head coach jobs being offered to him right now. Whether he chooses to turn down the Denver Broncos due to their worrisome quarterback situation and hypercompetitive division, or declines the Carolina Panthers because of David Tepper’s mercurial influence, or curves the Houston Texans with all of the mess that they’ve accumulated, the former New Orleans Saints head coach could very well do as he’s said he would and return to FOX Sports for 2023.
So where would that leave the New Orleans Saints? Well, for one thing, they’d have an exceedingly difficult time finding a first round pick in the 2023 draft. They lack for assets to trade in exchange for a first rounder after selling it to the Philadelphia Eagles last year, meaning their top pick is likely to stay put at No. 41 overall.
