Ever since they released Michael Thomas back in March of 2024, the New Orleans Saints have been looking for their next big-body wide receiver. DeVaughn Vele, formerly of the Broncos, might end that search.
The Saints traded for Vele earlier this week, giving up a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 seventh in exchange. When asked about the price of the trade, head coach Kellen Moore said that's always the tricky part. "You identify players you really want, and then obviously there's a cost associated with it," Moore told the media."
Former Saints head coach and current Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that it was a difficult trade to make.
