Report: ’50-50′ chance Payton leaves Saints after season

Sean Payton might be considering leaving the New Orleans Saints after the 2015 season, and a new report estimates there is about a “50-50” chance this happens.

Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports on this developing story:

“With legal drama engulfing New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson and the NFL keeping close tabs on a potential ownership change, there is a 'steadily increasing possibility' that head coach Sean Payton and some front-office executives will exit the franchise in the offseason, a league source told Yahoo Sports,” Robinson wrote Monday night.

There is a possibility that Benson’s daughter Renee could gain control of the franchise, which could send ripples throughout the organization, per Robinson.
