Woah: the New Orleans Saints didn’t just trade up again in the 2023 NFL draft, they traded a player to Sean Payton’s Denver Broncos. The Saints swapped a 2023 seventh-round pick (No. 257) and backup tight end Adam Trautman to Denver in exchange for the No. 195 pick, which they spent on Wake Forest wide receiver A.T. Perry.
When asked about trading Trautman, Saints head coach Dennis Allen kept the conversation squarely focused on the player they acquired instead: “I think we feel good about where we’re at at that position. There was a player on the board in A.T. Perry that we’d been paying attention to and kind of kept falling to us.”
