Adam Trautman asked to be traded by the Saints

So what you're actually saying is that he didn't really look in the mirror hard enough?

Oh, man, I love me some Sean Payton but what a memory, that was terrible. What a nightmare. He just couldn't find somebody steady, and he kept changing horses all the time, and then he'd finally find someone and stick with them, even when they became head cases and started missing. We fans were spoiled by having Morton for so long. But Payton was always kicking the tires on new kickers, and never satisfied.

Exactly this. He don't wanna be here and we got something for him. Worked out well I'd say.

Trout looked to have all the attributes to be successful NFL TE. Liked him, never hated him even when he let us down in clutch situation. Infortunelty he was just not the real deal. Out played by UDFA WR changed to TE … the writing was on the wall to be read by all.

The whole 2022 season, watching Russell Wilson struggle, one could not help but think "he just needs a weapon like Adam Trautman."

Damn man, some of ya'll need to chill when others have a different point of view on below-performing Saints players. I'm not here on this forum to give every player a pat on the back. Saints want RESULTS.

Keep an eye on him in Denver. Not much will change my friend, he doesn't move the needle as a TE at this level. The NFL is a production-driven league.

Look at his stats. Loomis and company probably had the paperwork ready & didn't bat an eye when he asked to be traded.

I can answer the above questions...I'll take Rell for 100 Alex

I think it boils down to the fact that he couldn't get separation. That will limit his opportunities if the QB isn't comfortable with him.

Elway had Sharpe. Brady had Gronk. Maholmes has Kelce. Now Russ has Trout. Let Russ cook pescatarian!
