Sean Payton continues to bring former Saints to Denver

Sean Payton continues to build New Orleans Broncos/ Denver Saints at his new home. The former New Orleans Saints head coach has continuously brought his former players to the Denver Broncos. The latest example is Kwon Alexander. He was signed to the Broncos’ practice squad

Former Saints wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey was also on the practice squad but was elevated permanently before Week 3 due to an injury. The signing of Alexander brings the total of former Saints players in Denver to eight. The list is highlighted by Wil Lutz, Adam Trautman and Malcolm Roach. It also includes Humphrey, Jordan Jackson, Lucas Krull and Calvin Throckmorton, All of them are on the active roster.

This isn’t the first time Payton gave Alexander a shot. Alexander was with New Orleans for the last two seasons of Payton’s tenure. At the time, Alexander was coming off an injury and seeing his role in San Francisco.

Clearly, Payton liked the dynamic Alexander brought to New Orleans. We’ll see if Alexander gets in the lineup when the Broncos visit the Saints on Oct. 17.
