NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday he has not considered an early reinstatement of Sean Payton and that there is no plan to meet with the Saints' coach before his suspension ends Feb. 4. Goodell told an NFL Network reporter he does anticipate there will be a conversation in the near future with Payton but no date has been set. Goodell also said there has been no discussion internally about returning the Saints' second-round pick in this year's NFL draft, which the league docked as part of the bounty sanctions. After the bounty appeals hearings in April, Goodell said he would "consider mitigating the financial penalties on the individuals ... (and) modifying the forfeiture of the team's 2013 second-round draft choice" if the club and the players, coaches and administrators "cooperated in future proceedings and participated in the development and implementation of programs to instruct players and coaches at all levels on principles of player safety, fair play, and sportsmanship." Earlier this week Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis said he didn't "have any expectations" about the Saints recouping this year's lost draft pick. Source: The Times Picayune

How valuable is Head Coach Sean Payton? Well, if you look just at records, you could say he’s worth 6 wins, as the Saints went from 13-3 in 2011 to 7-9 in 2012. However, Payton’s absence wasn’t the only reason for the decline. Drew Brees’ numbers were still great without Payton, not as good as they were in 2011, but it’s unrealistic to expect him to produce like that every...
