Sean Payton agrees to multi-year contract with Saints

[RockHoward]

First off, no deal is a deal until the Commissioner says it is a deal. If they insist on leaving in essentially the same language that the Commissioner dissed in the first place, it is going to be no deal. Second off, Payton cannot contact the Saints while he is on suspension, so how did this deal happen? If it involved any contact with the team front office then on that basis the Commissioner will be able to extend the suspension by simply not reinstating Payton if he so chooses.
