Jerry Jones is talking with New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton about becoming the GM with of the Cowboys' organization. Our source tells us that the Saints will promote defensive coordinator Gregg Williams to head coach if Jones is able to lure Payton to Dallas.

per Peter King on SI. com

One final note: Rumors were flying Sunday of Sean Payton taking some sort of undisclosed role with the Dallas Cowboys immediately. With Payton working the Super Bowl for ESPN, stories started that he was talking to the club about jumping from the Saints. Payton told me this morning he was "absolutely not'' jumping ship, and would be back with the Saints as coach this year. So there you go.

I can't believe they have Dallas with 8-1 odds of going to Super Bowl.......3rd best odds in the NFL, absolutely crazy

It's the same thing every year.

I feel kinda dumb for buying into it at the beginning of 2010, but unless the Boys project to be awful, they always get picked highly.

I look for 3-4 wins in the coming season for the Cowboys. I just don't see how they will be good other than a soft schedule.

Unless Jerrah pulls a Herschel Walker-esque deal off I don't see the 'Boys getting a sniff of the SB for many years. Can we draft a GM?

I'm crossing fingers for Sean Payton.

Or basically Jerruh relinquishing personnel decisions to anybody else but himself.

I actually think Jones did a good job of assembling talent though. I don't know if it was poor chemistry or bad coaching. I feel like they could easily rebound next year and win 10 or more games. I don't like the team but, I think the talent is there.

It was supposed to be there... I mean, on paper people thought Dallas had one of the three best D's in the league, and they couldn't stop Lindsay Lohan from going to rehab. I know Wade was a blowhard, but shouldn't the talent show up at some point past week one?

Lol.

I don't know what should or shouldn't have happened for the Cowboys this season. My best friend is a Cowboys fan so I'm always going against the hype. I've thought for the past three seasons or so that the talent is there. Being that we hate one one another(when it comes to sports), I told him that TO will split the team and I accused him of bringing Roy Williams down.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I just think this team is underachieving. I dislike Romo a lot but I probably think more highly of him than the majority. I think TO set him back.

This team has the players. Just needs the coach. I've watched a 22-8 team go 4-1 and almost 5-0 against the Heat with an interim coach. Sometimes sitting on the sideline helps. I really do think the talent is there as much as I dislike the Cowboys. JMO.

It is. They're a better team than their record from last season indicates, but championship material? Not so sure.

And Romo IMO is the #1 "Mr. Regular Season" in the league ATM. He's got all the skill in the world, but has so far been proven as un-clutch as it gets come playoffs.

The Cowboys talent level is overrated. It reminds me of the Dolphins for the few seasons before Jimmy Johnson became their coach. All the analysts, including Jimmy Johnson, continually raved about how the Miami Dolphins were so talented. Then Jimmy Johnson became their head coach and discovered that they weren't nearly as talented as he had thought.

This is true. As happy as I was that he botched the snap, I think it played a huge role in defining his career with the Cowboys. It's unfortunate because it might have changed everything. That was the exact moment a lot of people lost faith in him and quite possibly lost confidence in himself.

Look at Mccarthy... a lot of Packer fans wanted him fired. The second he made it to the NFC Championship, those people changed their tune. Then he won the Super Bowl and now he is untouchable.

He's a really good QB that has just had some bad luck. I actually kind of feel bad for him even though I dislike him. Some people deserve the criticism but he has been thrown under the bus even when it's not his fault. His guys have dropped a lot of perfect throws. That's the price of being QB though... at least he doesn't place the blame on anyone. TO and Roy Williams get 8 passes thrown to them, catch 4, drop 3 and then blame Romo for throwing one bad pass and not getting them the ball more.

We'll just have to wait and see next year. I actually kind of like Garrett. I don't know why, but I do.

Would love to get Prince from Nebraska in the upcoming draft. Obviously Patrick Peterson from LSU would be my #1 choice, but he won't be there at #9. Prince might be gone there too. But I am definitely wanting a CB. We all know how old Newman is getting and IMO Jenkins was awful. He has the skill, but sometimes I wonder if he even cares about being on the field. There were times last year that he didn't even try or attempt to make a tackle or make the play.

Thats definitely the biggest need. Prince Amukumukumakumarumaka would be a great pickup. I just get the feeling he's destined for NFL greatness.

Yeah I think so too. All NFL Cornerbacks with long foreign names end up being All-Pro. That CB for the Raiders comes to mind. But he does have all the tools. We need a shut-down corner in a bad way.

On a seperate note I hope we drop Roy Williams' ass either this offseason or next. He is awful. I would have rather kept Patrick Crayton for a fraction of the price. That was one of Jerry's worst moves ever and that's saying something. This will never happen, but in my dream world we get rid of Roy Williams and in the 2012 draft acquire Justin Blackmon in the 1st round. That would be a sick WR core of Miles, Bryant, and Blackmon. Either way Bryant is going to be special though.

How has Jerry Jones not run off every Cowboy fan there is?

He's picking us off one at a time and now add this to the dung heap.Dallas Cowboys to interview Heisman winner Cam Newton at NFL scouting combine - ESPN DallasFlash foward to the draft:
"And welcome back to the 2011 NFL draft, I'm Chris Berman. The Dallas Cowboys are on the clock now with the number 9 pick, Mel, what do you think we'll see?"
"Well Boom, the only two players Dallas really needed were Dareus and Peterson, and they are both gone. Prince Akamasodfu0sadf has taken a dramatic fall since people realizes he wasn't that fast, and none of the big 4 tackles are really worth a number 9 overall pick, and JJ Watson would also be a reach"
(back to boom) "So Mel, what do you think will happen?"
"Well Boom, Dallas could easily take the troubled Cam Newton. Jerry Jones has made it clear he loves Newton's athleticism and on the field will to win. He's a kid that has all the intangibles except humility, self awareness, and has consistently shown zero intelligence academically. He'll fit perfectly in Dallas Boom; he can learn the QB position while Tony marries family members from the cast of Gossip Girl and wears ridiculous hats that make him look like he's about to hit the links at Bushwood CC."
"And ya know what Mel? Everyone seems to think Washington will take Newton with the next pick, is it possible someone like Vikings, Dolphins, Jags, Seahawks jump up and get him?"
"That's just an amazing insight by you Boom. In fact, some would call it stunning. Yes, I think that might just be a possibility. Its also possible that since the Redskins are run by clownish buffoons, they might be dumb enough to move up one spot and pay a second rounder for it just to make sure Dallas won't take Newton."

(Announcer): Trade!
"And folks, we are now hearing that the Dolphins and their infantile minded, back stabbing douchebag of an owner has ordered GM Jeff Ireland to leapfrog up to the 9 spot. Dallas will get the 15th pick as well as Miami's first rounder next season. Speaking in the third person, I must say, Good job Boom. Lets go to the stage as the Commish makes the announcement".

"Before announcing the pick, I'd like to thank the assembled press corps for being completely worthless at their jobs. Its not often someone in my position can make every rule, every negotiation the opposite of what I tell reporters, and they don't care. I don't care about players health, hell, we even told them we were cutting off their health insurance when the lockout happend. We've moving to an 18 game schedule. Only an idiot would believe me . . . except Peter King and the associated NFL reporters. With the 9th pick in the 2011 NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select Cam Newton, Cam Newton's father from the previously accreditted University of Auburn"
