In a stunning development that has fans buzzing, New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson has hinted that former head coach Sean Payton could return to the team ahead of the 2025 season. Speaking publicly about her ongoing communication with Payton, who is currently leading the Denver Broncos, Benson revealed that terms for his return to the Saints are nearly finalized.
Payton, who led the Saints to a Super Bowl victory in 2009 and became one of the most successful coaches in franchise history, stepped down after the 2021 season, leaving the Saints to rebuild under new leadership. However, Benson confessed that the void left by Payton’s departure has been felt more than anticipated, and she is already regretting parting ways with the seasoned coach.
“I’ve reached out to Sean, and we’ve had some very productive conversations,” Benson shared. “We both recognize the incredible bond we have, and it’s clear that both sides are eager to make things right for the franchise and the fans. We’re in the final stages of working out the details for his return.”
Sources close to the situation say that Payton, who signed a deal with the Broncos in 2022, has always maintained a strong connection to New Orleans, and the idea of returning to the city he led to such success is increasingly appealing.
As the Saints continue to navigate their post-Payton era, the possibility of his return could be the game-changer they need to reclaim their former glory. While no official announcement has been made yet, insiders are confident that Payton’s return is imminent, and Saints fans can start looking forward to the reunion in 2025.
