Just a rumor right now, but, if true, Dennis Allen better get a job offer from the Saints quick like.

We'll deal with the thanking Sean for his time later.

Gotohell and the league truly do hate the Saints. They will stop at nothing to stir up **** for them.

This seems like a reach. I bet CSP is just disconnecting and taking some much deserved full-on R&R time. It's a long offseason - might as well!

The article states that Payton has three years left on his contract but they just say he’ll up and leave to coach somewhere else like it’s actually up to him.

I think Gayle Benson would let him walk away if she was convinced it's what he truly wanted.

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.

Ian Fullacrap is just that.

Saints, Sean Payton agree to five-year contract extension

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.

CSP is on vacation.

There are a lot of sleazeball journalists out there digging for a "story".

Clickbait.

I will say this though, I believe the idea of Payton retiring way more than him just jumping ship to go coach the Cowboys or Giants. Payton’s well aware of the officiating bias against him, hence quitting the competition committee.

I said in another thread that we will not be going to the Super Bowl again with Payton as coach… the NFL won’t allow it. Maybe Payton’s tired of fighting a losing battle.
