A lot of positive signs regarding the possibility of Payton. The fact that there's already an understanding of what the compensation will be, Payton being interested enough to meet, him repeatedly saying ownership is one of the biggest keys he's looking at and the Broncos willing to spend any cost, research he has already done on Wilson, etc. The compensation was the biggest thing I wondered about but if they're already on the same page then that's good. Saints ownership and management also love Payton and their GM is one of his best friends so I doubt they'd haggle to the point where they prevent him from taking the job if he really wants it.
The Cowboys embarrassing themselves in the playoffs, which is always a very real and hilarious possibility, is a wild card. It seems he has been linked to them for like 10 years now. He'd get all of the spotlight and attention he clearly craves and a much better roster to work with. However, he'd have to deal with Jerry's BS on a daily basis so....
There's also this possiblity:
