PHOENIX -- New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton said he had a "good" breakfast meeting with former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel during this year's Super Bowl in Houston. But Payton added that any speculation around the Saints signing Manziel because the two met would be false.

Manziel's numerous missteps have been well documented the past couple of years. Payton said he simply wanted to meet Manziel to get to know him.

"It gave me an opportunity to meet him," Payton said Wednesday morning at the NFL owners meetings.
