Former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton interviewed with the Houston Texans on Monday night regarding their head-coaching vacancy, multiple media outlets reported.
The Texans fired first-year head coach Lovie Smith on Jan. 9, a day after the team completed a 3-13-1 season.
Payton, 59, is the biggest name available in the coaching market, but he is still under contract with New Orleans after stepping aside as the Saints' coach in January 2022 after 15 seasons.
Earlier Monday, Payton said that the price for an NFL team to hire him in this cycle would likely be a mid- to late-first-round draft pick.
