METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints sent veteran tight end Adam Trautman and a seventh-round pick (No. 257) to the Denver Broncos to move back into the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft and select Wake Forest wide receiver A.T. Perry with pick No. 195.
This was the third trade the Saints made on Day 3 of the draft. They also made two trades in the fourth round to select Old Dominion offensive lineman Nick Saldiveri and Fresno State quarterback Jake Haener.
The trade reunites Trautman with Broncos coach Sean Payton, who was part of the Saints organization when they selected him in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft.
