PALM BEACH, FLA. - Unlike his head coach Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis briefly addressed owners, GMs and coaches Tuesday morning at the NFL annual meeting.

"He did get up and talk briefly — but just, you know, that they were on board. That's all," Buffalo Bills GM Buddy Nix told QMI Agency.

According to various reports, Payton was present at the session here at The Breakers resort, but did not address the group.

Regarding the seriousness of some of the issues discussed Monday at the annual meeting, Nix said there are "things that are not pleasant, sometimes, and that's not a good part of it."

But the mood wasn't so sombre on Tuesday, he said.

"Everybody's on the same page, and we're all concerned about the league and perception — and I think that was expressed in the meeting," Nix said.
