Get ready for a juicy tale about the NFL's behind-the-scenes drama!
Former Cowboys offensive coordinator Sean Payton and long-time Cowboys owner Jerry Jones are set to cross paths again this Sunday, and it's a reunion that's got everyone talking. During a recent press conference, Payton dropped a bombshell, revealing that he has "two or three stories" about Jones' attempts to hire him.
"There's one that's unbelievable," Payton teased. He went on to share a glimpse into one of these stories, hinting at a time when he was almost lured away from the New Orleans Saints. It seems that Jones' interest in Payton wasn't a one-off, but rather a recurring theme, especially during Payton's later years with the Saints.
One particular incident that may have involved Jones' pursuit of Payton was in 2019 when the Cowboys were reportedly on the brink of trading for him. However, the deal fell through, possibly due to the Saints' owner Gayle Benson's decision to keep Payton in New Orleans.
But here's where it gets controversial... Were there any tampering violations involved? Just like the Dolphins' attempt to poach Payton in 2022, these behind-the-scenes dealings could raise some eyebrows.
Payton's stories, when eventually written down, will shed light on whether any rules were broken. For now, we can only speculate and wonder about the details of these intriguing tales.
So, what do you think? Is there more to this story than meets the eye? Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments below! We'd love to hear your take on this NFL drama.
