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.
