Wow. We were told this might happen, and now it has: the New Orleans Saints have traded former Pro Bowl kicker Wil Lutz to the Denver Broncos, where he’ll reunite with his old coach Sean Payton. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke the news.
Lutz fell off last year after missing the entire 2021 season with an injury, and the Saints found a promising young kicker in Blake Grupe who pushed him hard for the job. Now Lutz is going to Denver, Grupe is staying in New Orleans, and we’re waiting to see what the Saints got in compensation.
