According to PFT’s Josh Alper, there was a meeting on Monday between Payton and Goodell, which led to the end of the suspension right away. That means Payton is now free to attend the Senior Bowl, hire assistants to fill holes on his staff and otherwise resume the duties of being the head coach of the Saints. Per Aiello, he “acknowledged in the meeting his responsibility for the actions of his coaching staff and players and pledged to uphold the highest standards of the NFL.”
