The NFL has denied it voided the multiyear contract of suspended Saints coach Sean Payton. Citing unnamed league sources, ESPN's stated the NFL voided Payton's contract—signed in September 2011—at some point during the past year. If true, the coach who played a central role in the offseason bounty scandal, could become the NFL's most sought-after free agent with his contract then expiring after the 2012 season. The league, however, released a statement later Sunday morning refuting ESPN's report. “Our office has made no determination on Sean Payton’s contract status with the Saints for next year,†the league stated. “All contracts between clubs and their employees must be approved by the Commissioner, and we do not comment on specific terms of individual contracts.â€
