New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton could be a free agent after this season, as the organization would reportedly let him out of his contract if he wished to leave, according to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport.

Coaching rumors about Sean Payton have been swirling around the league since the start of the season, and teams like the Miami Dolphins are reportedly interested in the head coach. The Saints have won three straight and have turned around their season after starting 0-3. The Saints just scored 52-points against the Giants defense last week, and they look to keep their offense rolling Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

Payton's contract reportedly has a "change of control" clause, and if Saints owner Tom Benson is not in charge following this season, he could become a free agent, according to Rapoport. Benson is 88 years old and has been battling family members in court to keep control of his two teams, the Saints and the New Orleans Pelicans, according to Katherine Sayre of The Times-Picayune. 

The Saints head coach is reportedly open to other coaching opportunities in 2016, according to Rapoport. If another team is interested in Payton, they would have to request permission from the Saints to speak with him after the season. The two teams would have to negotiate the terms of compensation before a new team would be allowed to talk with Payton. It's unclear what Payton's future holds in New Orleans, but if the team continues to win, expect him to continue to garner interest around the league.
