Saints agreed to terms with coach Sean Payton on a new five-year contract.
ESPN's Ed Werder reports it's worth "in excess" of $45 million. Payton was rumored to be on his way out of New Orleans after last season, drawing interest from the 49ers, Eagles, and Giants. But he's going to stick around for another half decade to try and right the ship in the twilight of Drew Brees' career. Payton is the NFL's third-longest-tenured head coach behind Bill Belichick and Marvin Lewis.
