Ahhh yes, the good old days where coaches and FA's would just use the Cards for leverage.I remember ...this one time at band camp...We had Andy Reid coming here.

Reid
Montana (Technically not a FA but he had his choice of where to be traded)
Marion (twice)
Who else?
I think the GM/Ownership dynamic matters more to Sean than Kyler.Same. That guy doesn’t need to rush into a situation. Especially one that’s fraught with major questions both in the present and future due to Kyler’s injury history/contract.
Kafka does nothing for me.

How much compensation would you guys be willing to give up?
Him and Harbaugh (despite today’s game) are probably the only coaches who might actually get me excited about next season. Anyone else will probably have me in much more “wait and see” mode. And anyone picked by Keim or Keim’s underlings will probably have me in Go Frack Yourself mode.

They’re wearing TCU gear so I’m figuring they know someone at the school.Is there any reason for Sean Payton to be at the Fiesta Bowl other than to backdoor meet Mike?

With KK already out of town, they can meet in his office and bring their tape measures to size it up for furniture.MB better be meeting with both Payton and Harbaugh in town
Harbaugh probably not.MB better be meeting with both Payton and Harbaugh in town
If it required a second, which I doubt it will take more than a fourth or fifth rounder with the Saints having little leverage, I would still do it if he wanted to come here and that would be what it would take to pacify the Saints. Heck, I would give our 1st round pick if that meant we got Sean Payton as our head coach. For those who think this is outrageous, I doubt you can name three guys combined in this draft which would make the Cardinals a winner better than having Payton as the coachHow much compensation would you guys be willing to give up?
