Sean Payton hasn't stopped bringing in reinforcements from his old shop.

The Denver Broncos have traded for kicker Wil Lutz from the New Orleans Saints, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday, per a source.

Lutz, 29, has spent his entire playing career with the Saints and was among the best kickers in the NFL during Payton's time there. In 2019, the Saints signed Lutz to a five-year extension.

"New Orleans, thank you for the best 7 years of my life," Lutz wrote in a post Tuesday on social media.

Um. It looks like nothing. In fact, it appears it will cost us an extra $720K this year against our cap somehow. Releasing him would have been the same. At least we got a 7th rounder out of it.

Looks like there are some hurt feelings:

Lutz's agent, Perla, has a bit to learn about professional diplomacy. GM's have a long memory and I would imagine they don't take well to mouthy agents.

Wish Lutz the best, quality guy … At the end of the day it’s just business … Grupe has shown he has the ability, poise and confidence, all the traits needed for a long successful career with Who Dat Nation.

Wish Lutz all the best, he made some big time kicks for us over the year, a ton of game winners. Definitely added some stability to the position.

He definitely hasn't been as consistent since the injury, his short kicks especially zig zag all over the place.

SP getting into DA’s head and Pearla needs to shut his trap and focus on not getting blind sided.

According to Nick Underhill, the Saints save about $1 million. Grupe has performed very well in TC, and also according to Underhill, clearly a starting kicker in this league.

I'm surprised, but can't fault them for going younger, especially after Lutz averaged making just over 74% of his kicks last season..

	W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.
