Re: Payton to take a year off?
 

The guy in the article doesn't even know that in 2019 Payton signed a five extension on his contract. That original contract was still in place. He's mistakenly figured it was five year from 2019. It actually runs through the end of 2026 as Mike Triplett pointed out a couple of weeks ago when the clickbait started again.

But you're right, he cannot contractually go elsewhere to coach for five more years. And why would he, right? He's got more power over operations in New Orleans than he could have anywhere else. He has a roster that can win now.

The New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton have agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension to keep him in town through the 2026 season, as first reported by Jay Glazer of FOX Sports. Payton previously inked a five-year extension in March 2016, which was set to expire in 2021.

They want the saints to not be relevant. They thought when Drew left we’d return to the bag saints but it didn’t happen like they wanted. Minus Jameis and couple other guys injuries, this team would have home field. They now know Sean can really coach. We knew this but they didn’t. He’s not going nowhere. To think Sean would put up with Jerry or Mark Davis is a joke.

Sean's probably got idiots like Ian Fullacrap blocked.

I don't know much about how contracts work with NFL coaches, but if Sean wanted to coach somewhere else I would have to assume when he did his latest deal that an escape clause was included. I do believe he would not coach anywhere else immediately and would take some time off if needed.

People are just jealous, because other than the big guy in Kansas City, CSP's better than any other coach still remaining in the playoffs.

Re: Payton to take a year off?
 

Just curious. What do you believe he would have coaching somewhere else that he doesn't already have in New Orleans? Really the same question for anyone else. I haven't seen any logical explanation from any pundit that has brought this subject up.
