So much for Sean Payton's poker face. The New Orleans Saints coach didn't try to cloak the team's desire to re-sign free agent quarterback Jameis Winston if Drew Brees retires as expected.
Payton spoke glowingly about Winston to ESPN and other media outlets while doing some Super Bowl week appearances on Wednesday, saying the Saints would like to re-sign him "sooner than later."
Payton also specifically told CBS Sports' Pick Six Podcast that he expects Brees to make an announcement "in the next week or two."
Payton has been saying for months that he thinks the Saints' next quarterback is already "in the building" -- a reference to both Winston and Taysom Hill.
