Sean Payton & Bill Parcels meet today
NEW ORLEANS -- Saints owner Tom Benson left the NFL meetings Wednesday and headed back to New Orleans, where his team's top brass had major matters to discuss during what could be Sean Payton's last week of work in 2012.
Team spokesman Greg Bensel said no decisions had been made on an interim coach after a meeting Tuesday with Bill Parcells, a finalist for the Hall of Fame this season who turns 71 in August. Payton has made it clear he is hoping Parcells can help New Orleans move forward.
"We played golf," Parcells told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "We really didn't talk about the job. They told me they would be in touch."

Dallas Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins is Gonna Cost Some Money , is there any issue ?
The potential cost of his second contract could be prohibitive.
In the last year, the Cowboys have locked up cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Orlando Scandrick for the next five seasons, agreeing to deals for more than $75 million, including roughly $35 million guaranteed.
Jenkins, like Carr and Scandrick, has four NFL seasons under his belt. But unlike the two former fifth-round picks, he comes with a first-round pedigree and has made a Pro Bowl, albeit as an alternate in 2009. Both those players were paid on upside, in large part. Though Jenkins is a couple years older, at 28, he's still got good football ahead of him following a bounce-back season in 2011.

Tim Tebow is in high demand with Nike & now Nike is suing Reebok
Tim Tebow's not second-string to Nike -- because the athletic company is now suingReebok ... over the exclusive rights to use Tebow's name on merchandise.
Nike filed a lawsuit against Reebok this week -- just one day after the Jets officially announced the Tebow trade -- and according to the suit, Reebok's new Jets merch bearing Tebow's name (above) is in violation of a 2010 Nike-Tebow endorsement deal.
According to the deal, Nike's got sole merchandising rights to all things Tebow ... and Nike alone.
A rep for Nike released a statement, claiming, “We have filed a complaint relating to unauthorized use of Tim Tebow's name on New York Jets related apparel. Nike is authorized and licensed to use Tim Tebow's name on products."
It’s unclear what apparel Nike's specifically bitching about -- but Reebok’s 10-year, $250 million apparel deal with the NFL expires this month. Nike is slated to take over in April with a 5-year deal, worth roughly $35 million a year.
As for the 2010 endorsement deal -- Nike made off like a bandit, signing Tebow before his jersey became one of the most sought-after in the league ... for $300,000 a year.
