Sean Payton is going to file an appeal on his suspension for involvement in the New Orleans bounty system, an insider said.

The appeal includes asking NFL Commmissioner Roger Goodell for some guidance, the person told The Associated Press today, on condition of anonymity.

Sean Payton Speaks

His name hasn't been released because the league and the Saints have not announced Payton's plan to appeal.

Last week Goodell announced Payton's suspension for his connection in the New Orleans' bounty system, which offers improper cash bonuses for big hits that either knocked opponents out of games or left them needing help off of the field.

Also, Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt has appealed his six-game suspension.
