The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a five-year contract extension with coach Sean Payton, according to multiple reports Sunday.
The new deal, first reported by FOX, will take the 55-year-old Payton through the 2024 season, meaning it would replace the final year of his current contract, which pays him $9 million annually and is good through 2020.
He has coached the Saints since 2006, heading into Sunday with a 119-74 record and one Super Bowl title (following the 2009 season) under his belt. He has led New Orleans to three 13-3 regular-season records, including in 2018, when the team’s postseason run ended in controversial fashion in the NFC Championship Game.
The Saints have made seven playoff appearances under Payton.
