If the Cardinals want to hire Sean Payton as their next head coach, it's going to cost them.
Arizona Republic
Arizona presently holds the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft. Would the Cardinals seriously consider dealing that pick away to the Saints – and maybe even more – in exchange for the rights to hire Payton, 59? Payton led the Saints to a 152-89 record and nine trips to the postseason in his 15 seasons in New Orleans, which include a Super Bowl victory during the 2009 season. His teams won seven division titles. What might it cost for a club to acquire his services?
In 2002, the Buccaneers traded two first-round picks and two second-round picks to the aiders, along with $8 million in cash, for coach Jon Gruden. In 1999, however, it only cost the Seahawks a second-round pick to snatch coach Mike Holmgren away from the Packers. Considering how delicate any compensation negotiations could get with Loomis and the Saints, it probably behooves Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill to hire a new GM first and let that person deal with the Saints, assuming the next GM is even in favor of hiring Payton.
