I already commented this, but I firmly believe that he knows the team won't be playoff contenders and once we reach week 13/14 he can use that as an excuse for why he's not playing. If they aren't contenders/going to the playoffs then it's not worth the risk - but it was never going to happen anyway.

They won't even end up as contenders for a playoff spot; which means he can say he was ready to play but it wouldn't be worth it given that they aren't going to the playoffs. I think he knew/knows this and it's all been him blowing smoke up his own ass since day 1.
What’s this Sean Payton puff piece? Did they forget about the player bounties? Really screams leadership
