Looks like Poles may be going to the Bears. If so, great. I guess.
Will be interesting to see/hear why they felt he was the best man (or woman) for the job.

If the rumor is true that Poles was/is going to target Dan Quinn and Todd Bowles as his head coach, I'm good with Adofo-Mensah.

No clue if Poles would have wanted the Vikes job if offered tomorrow, but I think there's enough out there to suggest that the Wilfs are easier to work for than McCaskey(s).

I would wish Poles luck, but as a division foe, I hope for nothing but Trubisky's and Edward-Helaire's for him!

Sean Payton retiring is the most shocking news in a while.

Sean Payton retiring is the most shocking news in a while.

"Retiring" Either going to coach elsewhere or go be with Buck on Fox once Aikman goes to Amazon like many think.

[NewtonHawk11]

I will say Payton is pretty damn overrated. He helped get that team in salary cap hell, signed Taysom Hill to a huge contract and he hasn’t lived up to that.

I think they’re going to rebuild like crazy. Trade away stars for draft picks and whatnot.

[Cascadia]

I don't know what kind of funny numbers KC can work, but I'd be calling about Lattimore today.

Cowboys.

Jerry is tempted now. He wanted him a few years back.

[NewtonHawk11]

Since he's under contract, compensation will have to go back to Saints if he coaches anywhere else.

That might be why they are looking "retirement" loophole.

I think Payton is a pretty good offensive coach. He's also known to be a world-class jerk. Failing in Dallas would be par for the course for that franchise.

I don't know what kind of funny numbers KC can work, but I'd be calling about Lattimore today.

I don't think he's worth the value of what they'd ask, but I'd also send a feeler for Michael Thomas. He's 28. I don't think he's totally done.

Even an 80% Michael Thomas would have one million catches with Mahomes.

If the rumors from a couple weeks ago have any truth to them, KC is expected to be a player in a trade for Calvin Ridley this offseason.

[pdub]

Also a risk with his mental health.
Will he just not play for Atlanta?

Value obviously critical but they’re in salary cap hell.

[pdub]

Some smoke with Rodgers and Davante Adams both ending up in Denver.
Broncos would have to give up a couple 1sts and more for Rodgers.
Adams a free agent.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

I haven't kept up on it, is there no way the Packers can keep both Rodgers and Adams?

[pdub]

There is but it'll take a lot of work.
Packers in salary cap hell.

You'd probably franchise tag Adams.
Then you'd have to go to town on cutting/trading salaries.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

I would be thrilled to see Adams in a Bears jersey. Heck, if even for just a couple of seasons, I would prefer an old balls Rodgers over a young balls Fields too. That's one of many reasons why I haven't received a phone call from a NFL team for a GM interview.

[pdub]

Adams, if he's not going to be franchised, will want north of 25 million a season.
I guess if you think you can compete in the weakened NFC North ( if Adams is gone, i'm guessing Rodgers will be too, so then the Pack are likely in rebuild mode ) then that might be worth it.
Otherwise, let someone else spend the hefty price.

[UnholyLivingDead]

This whole time, if forced to give a prediction, I would have guessed Aaron Rodgers would go to the Saints. But now I feel like that heavily depends on who they get to replace Payton.

If the Saints reached out to Rodgers to gauge his interest, I wonder how much say they would allow Rodgers to have in their coaching decision.
