No, this just shows how little you know about the situation. Payton signed a contract that was excepted by both the Saints and himself. The only stipulation that the league objected to was that if Mickey Loomis, the GM that is negotiating for the Saints, left it would terminate Payton's contract. In other words, Payton isn't leaving unless Loomis does. I'm pretty sure that Loomis put that in the contract, not Payton. But, they both know their success depends on their having full control. Benson has conceded that to them. Jerry Jones NEVER would.

It is a non-issue. They'll most likely replace that clause with something else that will work. Payton is going no where.
