Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints are close to agreeing on a new contract, the coach said Thursday in an interview with Pro Football Talk. Payton also said he envisioned being with the Saints at least another four or five years, the report said.
The interview will be aired Thursday night on NBCSN, the report said. The Pro Football Talk program is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. central time.
The current contract between the Saints and Payton is due to expire after 2017.
Payton said in January he could not see himself coaching another team in the foreseeable future.
