Once they got into contention, and it looked like they would have to keep Garrett, he signed the deal. You know it's true. He would have played them off each other, otherwise.

Funny... I guess you owe getting Sean to sign to the Falcons beating the Giants, letting the Cowboys sniff the playoffs. You're welcome!

There was zero chance that Payton was going anywhere, especially the Cowboys with Jerry Jones as the GM. You do know the reason the last extension was voided, right? It was because of a clause that said that if Mickey Loomis was to ever leave the franchise it would void Payton's contract. Payton wants to work with a REAL GM that knows his shit and respects Payton as a partner.

And don't bring up the crap about Payton having a home in Dallas. His wife has a home that Sean bought her when they filed for divorce. Payton still has a home in New Orleans. And as for the kids, no NFL head coach see much of their family at all during the year. He'd see them just as often, maybe even more in the short flight distance to New Orleans.

And once again, you are wrong. The wait was getting permission in writing from Goodell so they could meet face to face to iron out that one detail. Goodell and the league didn't get them the permission until late November.
