CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton says he "absolutely'' would consider coaching the Houston Texans in 2023.
Payton said Monday on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" he will meet this week with Houston, the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers. The Arizona Cardinals also have requested permission from the Saints to meet with the 59-year-old coach, who won the Super Bowl with New Orleans at end of the 2009 season.
Any team that hires Payton would have to compensate New Orleans, which has rights to the coach through the end of the 2024 season after he stepped away from the job after the 2021 season with three years left on a five-year contract.
