New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has his contract extension literally in hand.
Payton said at the NFC coaches breakfast Wednesday morning at the NFL owners meetings that he has a five-year contract in his briefcase and he plans on signing it. The deal would keep him under contract through 2020. ESPN reported the deal was in "excess of $45 million."
"Another five years means a lot," Payton said. "That stability, I don't take for granted."
Payton said it's important that deals for himself and Drew Brees will get done.
