Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints can begin negotiating a new contract, according to a source.

The NFL voided Payton's contract extension that would have kept him with the Saints through 2015.

Payton hasn't responded for comment Sunday or Monday on the situation.

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports spoke with Payton on Sunday and said that the suspended head coach plans on staying with the Saints.

Payton is expected to become the NFL's highest-paid head coach.
