Sources: Saints owner considering making Sean Payton highest-paid coach in NFL

Since his contract's been voided, can other teams talk to Sean about a contract right now? And is Benson forbidden from doing it since Payton can have no contact with the Saints?

We're the only ones that can talk to him at this time....no other team can talk to him until Roger reinstates him and determines What his contract status (whether this suspended year tolls and he has to fufill the last yr of his contract in the 2013-14 season or whether he's FA).

His contract "extension" was voided. He is still under contract through the Super Bowl. Nobody can talk to him other than the Saints for the next three months.

But he is not allowed to have any contact with the franchise until after the Super Bowl... at least according to how things stand at the moment, but I guess Roger could allow them to have contract talks?!

It just seems that this is just another way to punish the franchise, and that to me seems hardly justifiable given all the punishments already given and, on the other hand, given that there hasn't yet been any concrete evidence presented - at least to the public.

The league office has given them verbal approval to be able to get together to work out the contract, but Payton and Loomis have requested approval in written form to cover their butts. For some reason they don't trust Goodell. Go figure.

I don't blame then for wanting it in writing just in case he tries to pull some more ego driven, back ass wards stuff down the road to hose them again
