Vikings Message Board.Com

according to ESPN. things just went from bad to worse as the Saints have voided his contract extension. Thus making him a free agent coach starting next season assuming they don't resign him at a lesser deal.

Rumors fly of him going to the cowboys. I would be surprised if the aints don't resign him.

Dumb, there needs to be a bidding war for this guy just to teach the saints a lesson. Since Minnesota was most affected by his antics, Ziggy needs to be a part of it. Make sure the Saints pay double.

To clarify, the league, not the Saints voided the deal. It was due to a clause saying that Payton could void the deal if GM Mickey Loomis was fired or suspended. League didn't like that clause and tossed it.

I'd love for him to be the coach of the Vikings.

While the Saints play this year sure is making him look like a genius, it's really been a combination of Payton and Brees that made their offense click. Who are we going to get at QB to be able to implement his schemes?

I doubt he leaves NO. The article mentions that he got permission to work for the Hornets (also owned by Boogie Benson), so he obviously has a strong connection there.

Isn't Brees a FA? Or did he sign? I don't remember.

Brees signed.
