We’ve reached a point in the NFL where we know exactly what the aftermath of the 2023 trade between the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints will be.
You may be wondering what I’m talking about. Remember when Sean Payton made it incredibly clear that he wanted to coach a team that wasn’t the New Orleans Saints? that!
Denver and New Orleans reached an agreement on a deal with Payton last offseason, and at the time the key detail was a first-round pick, but this year’s draft now has two picks that can be assigned names. was included.
What the Broncos received:
- sean payton
-
Saints 2024 third-round pick: Traded to Seattle Seahawks as part of acquisition of Riley Moss
The Saints received:
- Broncos 2023 first-round pick: Brian Brissey
- Broncos’ 2024 second-round pick: Traded to the Green Bay Packers (for the pick Green Bay acquired in the Aaron Rodgers trade) and selected Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry.
It’s worth mentioning at the outset that the first-round pick that New Orleans acquired from Denver was actually given to them twice. The 29th overall pick went from Denver to New Orleans, as it originally went from the San Francisco 49ers to the Miami Dolphins and then the Broncos (Bradley Chubb shoutout).
But with the Saints trading for the Kool-Aid, the fallout from the Sean Payton trade is officially over. Close the book.
