Payton Returns to Work February 2nd. New Contract
Sean Payton will stay in New Orleans through 2017. The guess is now over, contracts signed and time to go back to work!
New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton signed a five-year contract extension Wednesday that will run through the 2017 season.
The team announced the extension but did not release financial details of the deal. Payton had agreed to the deal in principle on Dec. 29.
Payton has guided the most successful period in the franchise’s history, leading the Saints to three NFC South division titles and four postseason appearances. Two of his teams advanced to the NFC Championship and the 2009 squad won Super Bowl XLIV.
Payton, who was suspended for the entire 2012 season in connection with the NFL’s bounty investigation, can return to work Feb. 4, the day after the Super Bowl.
