Sean Payton Gets 5-year Extension

The Saints have been through a lot. During the 2011 offseason, they were accused of a bounty scandal that gave suspensions to several players for a small amount of time until they overturned it and lowered suspensions, but the important piece was gone. That piece was Head Coach, Sean Payton. He was suspended for the entire season and would have been on the free agency market next year, but the New Orleans Saints have signed him to a 5 year extension. After a 7-8 season so far, the Saints need him back.
