If Sean Payton is going to return to the NFL next season as a head coach after a one-year hiatus, he reportedly has a hierarchy of teams he'd consider.
According to CBS Sports' Josina Anderson, Payton has a "high affinity" for the Los Angeles Chargers and Dallas Cowboys, while the Arizona Cardinals are "a consideration too, if jobs become available."
As for the Denver Broncos, fresh off firing Nathanial Hackett on Monday, Anderson added, "I expect him to listen, though he historically prefers strong link [to the general manager]."
