New Orleans Saints Sean Payton joined Jason La Canfora and Ken Weinman on Baltimore's 105.7 The Fan on Thursday, and he came prepared with a joke about his new backup quarterback:

"We're excited to work with [Winston]," Payton said (h/t Luke Johnson of the Times-Picayune). "He's a young player. He's 26 years old I believe, and I know he's got great work ethic and I know he's competitive. So we'll see how that unfolds, but we're excited that he's joined our team and he's going to help be a part of what we're trying to accomplish.
