Sean Payton has denied rumors that he met with New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis on Sunday to discuss his future with the club.

Payton says he and Loomis have met regularly after every road game since he became the Saints coach in 2006.

"We're not gonna address rumors, reports. If we answered those every time, it would be silly," he said.

Payton later went even further Monday night on his radio show and issued his most declarative statement to date on his Saints future.

"My plan is to definitely be back here. ... I have four years left on my contract, and I plan on honoring that."
