But sometimes, if talks stall, eyes (on both sides of the table) wander. And on a wide-open coaching market that’s requiring some creativity, rather than chasing prominent names, you don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel mentally to find executives in Atlanta and Miami that might throw their hats into that ring if things play out a certain way.First things first: I think it’d take an impasse in those talks to open up this discussion. We may get there. Ben Johnson got $13 million per year, and Liam Coen got $12 million per year in January of 2024. Those two guys brought a combined zero games of experience as head coaches to the proverbial negotiating table. Logically, that gives LaFleur, who’s been to two NFC title games, and is 16th all-time in winning percentage (.654), plenty of room to ask for between $15 million and $20 million. Will the Packers go there?If they won’t, and next week comes, could someone like Atlanta’s Matt Ryan or Miami’s Jon-Eric Sullivan, with their ties to LaFleur, call? Sure. And at that point, I’d think we’d be talking about maybe a top-60 pick, and something else (worth mentioning here, by the way, that the Falcons don’t have a first-rounder)."</blockquote>
