Sean Payton plans to retire after 15 years with the Saints, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapport.
Payton informed New Orleans of his decision on Tuesday, per Rapoport. A news conference is expected to be held Tuesday afternoon.
Payton, 58, went 152–89 in 15 seasons with New Orleans. He led the Saints to the playoffs nine times, including a run to Super Bowl XLIV. New Orleans finished 9–8 in 2021, starting four different starting quarterbacks as the franchise dealt with a number of injuries and COVID-19 absences.
Payton did not commit to returning to New Orleans for the 2022 season on Monday, per Rapoport.
