Sean Payton confirms interviews with Broncos, Texans and Panthers this week
at various points over the next week. Notably, Payton didn’t mention the Cardinals at any point in the interview, the only other team to request an interview.
Payton is under contract through 2024, which means any team that wants to hire him needs to work out a deal with the Saints. That cost would likely be more this year than if any team tries to hire him next year. For compensation, Payton speculated that it would cost a “mid or later first-round pick” to acquire his rights from New Orleans. Houston owns picks Nos. 2 and 12 and Carolina has pick No. 9, while Denver doesn’t have its own pick but does own the 49ers first which will fall in the late 20s.
As for what he is looking for in a team, Payton called ownership stability “critical” while also acknowledging that these teams most likely have issues at quarterback, which is why they are in the head coaching market.
