Saints make the right move trading Sean Payton to Denver? Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 137)

The good news for the New Orleans Saints is they added a first-round draft pick (sort of), and fans no longer have to wonder about where Sean Payton might go. He is headed to the Denver Broncos to work with Russell Wilson and try to turn that underachieving franchise around. But what about this underachieving franchise? We'll talk about whether it was a good deal for the Saints and where the team goes from here in our weekly live Friday chat with Jeff Duncan and Jim Derry on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 137). We'll also look ahead to Super Bowl 57 and touch on the Pelicans and their 10-game losing streak.

In a surprising move (to some), the New Orleans Saints traded their No. 1 asset – Sean Payton – to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday for the 29th pick in this year’s NFL draft, the Broncos’ second-round pick in 2024. They also gave the Broncos their third-round pick in ’24.

Was this the best General Manager Mickey Loomis could do? Will this help the team head back in the right direction? Should they have waited until after the 2023 season? Would it have been too large a gamble to take?

You have questions, and Jeff Duncan and Jim Derry have the answers on the Dattitude podcast (Ep. 137), and Jim shares his thoughts in his monologue. The duo also talks about the Super Bowl 57 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles (with picks coming on next Friday’s show), and they try to figure out what is wrong with the New Orleans Pelicans.
