REPORT: Tom Brady And Sean Payton Could Be Package Deal For Surprise Team
Sean Payton has expressed interest in returning to the NFL next season, but the two teams that reportedly interest him the most may not be involved in the head coaching market over the next several weeks.
The two teams Payton is said to be eyeing are the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers, and both teams should make the playoffs, so it would be a surprise to see either Mike Mccarthy or Branden Staley get fired.
However, it now looks like Payton could potentially team up with Tom Brady in 2023.
One source with a finger firmly on the pulse of pro football told PFT that it's currently the «worst-kept secret» in league circles.
It would still be a stunner if it happens. Considering the various potential openings for 2023, it could be the only place where Payton and Brady could finish what nearly happened in Miami for 2022.
Brady is a free agent after the season. He can go anywhere. Why not the Saints? Why not team up with Payton? Why not play his home games in the stadium where he won his first Super Bowl?
As the source put it, Payton's not going to Denver or Carolina. With the Chargers making the playoffs, that job isn't coming open. The only other potential destination would be the Cowboys, if Dallas loses in the opening round of the playoffs and coach Mike McCarthy gets fired.-Mike Florio
