Sean Payton's agent, NFL close to finalizing conditions for contract negotiations
Sean Payton's agent, Don Yee, and the NFL are close to "finalizing conditions" for Payton and the New Orleans Saints to discuss a contract extension, ESPN.com's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday night.
Payton, suspended for the year for his role in the Saints' bounty program, is set to have his contract expire at the end of the season. The Times-Picayune's Mike Triplett reported that Payton is not unhappy in New Orleans, but it remains to be seen if he will agree to a new deal quickly or if he will keep his options open.
