Can't blame Payton for using the Donks to get a bigger deal from Fox.
If I were Payton I'd tell Peener I'll coach your team stuck with the cringe QB, no draft picks, and terrible GM for $150M for 5 years, fully guaranteed. Take it or leave it. He likely knows deep down how overrated he is. Why not put up with 5 years of losing if they're going to guarantee him that much? $30M per year can mask a lot of pain and professional humiliation.
