Rumors about New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro being the subject of trade talks first surfaced on Friday evening. By Sunday morning, there were even more reports about the possibility.
On Sunday afternoon, after the Saints lost an ugly game to the New England Patriots, 36-20, Vaccaro went into coach Sean Payton's office. When he left, he went outside the locker room and spoke with Mike Ornstein, a member of Payton's inner circle who is regularly around the team.
Vaccaro was clearly emotional during the conversation with Ornstein following a talk with Payton, but it had nothing to do with the possibility of a trade.
