The Adam Trautman era came to an end for the New Orleans Saints on Saturday when they traded their former third-round pick to the Denver Broncos, who wanted to reunite their head coach Sean Payton with one of his former players. Payton explained their thinking in his post-draft press conference with Denver media.
“We comped him to a handful of the tight ends that we were discussing in this draft. We drafted Adam in the third round, and ironically we were comping him to a few of the other third-round players. He’s clean, great makeup, great character,” Payton said.
