    The Texans and Cardinals also have permission from the Saints to speak with Payton about their jobs, and sources say those interviews should happen next week as well, assuming Denver doesn't move to lock up Payton first.

    Payton has done homework on all three potential landing spots and all three are considered viable options.

    The Saints are expected to ask for a first-round pick and more, and three teams are still in it, indicating they're willing to at least consider paying that price.

    Houston Texans
    Houston today interviews Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon, who got two interviews for the job a year ago before the surprise hiring of Lovie Smith and has a good relationship with GM Nick Caserio. Gannon is expected to be among the top candidates. But it remains early in Houston's process. They've also spoken with Ben Johnson and Shane Steichen. Ejiro Evero and Rams assistant head coach Thomas Brown are expected to fly to Houston for interviews next week. The team also has requests out for Mike Kafka and DeMeco Ryans, a former Texans player who would be a fan favorite. The candidate list has skewed very young as the Texans seek the right leader for a young team. But Sean Payton's name looms large here as well, with the chance to build from scratch with a lot of cap space and draft picks, including No. 2 overall in 2023.

    I want a group of top notch teachers and this list has those guys on it. Most coaches hire guys they know and have worked with in the past. The exceptions to this rule are former players within an org/ former players who have played for the new HC before/Young college guys that have done quality control in college. These guys are brought in as assistants to the position coaches or quality control.

    Why do you not like Gannon? He seems like a bright young mind to me. The other candidates are as well. This is a really great group of candidates, unlike the last couple of years candidates.

    Maybe a top 15 QB at this stage of his career. A total coach killing dumbazz.

    Great chance to watch Demeco’s defense today. I know we don’t have the personnel but hopefully i can notice adjustments and what he’s trying to do/stop.

    My gf is Thai. We are planning a trip there later this year, I can’t wait.

    On topic, I’m hoping for an offensive minded coach.

    I wouldn't mind Geno Smith as a FA.

    1st pick a DE

    2nd pick WR

    3rd pick. OT.

    Fill DL and Linebacker with FA

    Seattle is expected to franchise Geno if they can't come to terms on a contract.

    Goff a former #1 overall pick. Mills was a reach as a 3rd rounder.

    coaches will say anything…

    Goff lead a team to a SB before he knew who Ben Johnson was. Captain Gutter leads his team to top 2 picks
