The New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos have agreed to compensation in return for Super Bowl-winning head coach Sean Payton, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Saints will receive the Broncos’ 2023 first-round pick (No. 30 overall) and their 2024 second-round pick for Payton and the Saints’ 2024 third-round selection, sources said.
This clears the way for Payton to sign with the Broncos to become the franchise’s next head coach.
The Broncos had traded their first-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks in last year’s blockbuster trade to acquire Russell Wilson but then acquired a first-round pick from the Miami Dolphins in the trade that sent Bradley Chubb to Miami last season. That pick originally belonged to the San Francisco 49ers, who send the pick to Miami in the trade that allowed them to pick Trey Lance in the 2021 draft.
