The NFL rumor mill is in full swing right now as many ponder the upcoming head coaching carrousel. Especially Sean Payton, who is the biggest candidate available right now.

Well, rumors about the star head coach are reaching an all-time high all thanks to Michael Thomas’ Instagram story.

According to Nick Underhill, Thomas shared an image of Sean Payton and Tom Brady along with Pro Football Talk’s latest update regarding the head coach and superstar quarterback. Apparently, there is now a real possibility Payton simply reclaims his role with the Saints and signs Brady as a free agent.

Although there are plenty of options on the table for Sean Payton, this might actually make the most sense. Especially considering there’s a chance the Saints have Payton back as the head coach while also acquiring Tom Brady as the new starting quarterback. With how the past few years have gone for Michael Thomas, it’s no wonder he’s adding fuel to the recent rumors.

On top of that, any team that wants to sign Sean Payton has to trade for him. Many like the idea of him taking over the head coaching role for the Denver Broncos. However, they have minimal draft capital after trading for Russell Wilson last offseason.

So, we’ll see what happens. The NFL rumor mill is going to stay busy for now and will only get hotter in the coming weeks. Regardless, the idea of Sean Payton teaming up with Tom Brady in New Orleans would suddenly change the landscape in the NFL.
