When the Los Angeles Chargers were knocked out of the NFL playoffs in the wild-card round, speculation arose that Sean Payton might land in L.A. to replace Brandon Staley and team up with Justin Herbert.
The Chargers quickly put an end to those rumors by sticking with Staley.
Now, following the Dallas Cowboys’ loss in the divisional round of the playoff, speculation has started once again that Payton could land in Dallas.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones attempted to put a stop to that speculation by backing McCarthy on Sunday night, indicating that the coach’s job is safe.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport also noted on Monday that he believes McCarthy truly is safe, and Payton does not view Dallas as a potential destination.
That hasn’t stopped Twitter speculation.
So have the Cowboys traded their draft to the Saints yet for Sean Payton? SP always had a soft spot for Dallas and JJ has always wanted SP to coach for him pic.twitter.com/t9isYP2ng1

Cowboys should give Dak Prescott another chance with a better coach and better skill players
BUT
Sean Payton and Tom Brady in Dallas feels very Jerry Jones https://t.co/IsCOub13Fg

If Jerry Jones wants to get close to another SB in Dallas, he must hire Sean Payton now! He continues to believe square pegs fit in round holes. There are better Head Coaches in the division than McCarthy! Payton is available and he wants the #Cowboys job!

Sean Payton coaching the Cowboys next year?

The Cowboys are the best landing spot for Sean Payton. Defence is already built, QB he can get a lot more out of than McCarthy does.

Mike McCarthy is a great coach. He will continue to be a great coach somewhere else, because we need to end this relationship. We need Payton. Bring us Payton. It’s destiny.
