The New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos have agreed on a deal to send Sean Payton to the Broncos. The New Orleans Saints will acquire Denver’s 2023 first-round pick and 2024 2nd-round pick in exchange for Sean Payton and the Saints’ 2024 third-round pick.
The #Saints and #Broncos just finalized the deal on compensation and sources say New Orleans gets a first-rounder and an early pick — likely a 2nd rounder — but also give a pick back. Complex deal but now done. Sean Payton will be the #Broncos coach.

After weeks of rumors and reports, Sean Payton will be the next head coach of the Denver Broncos. Payton and Denver will now work out a contract that’s expected to be in the $16-$25M dollar range. The Broncos will end up trading three 1st-round picks, three 2nd-round picks and more to acquire Russell Wilson and Sean Payton. The Saints are now back in the 1st round of the draft.
The Saints did have to give up a future third, but it was a price they were willing to pay. The Saints now own picks 30th in the first round and 41st in the 2nd round, along with the rest of their picks.
