The Saints added to their receiver room ahead of the regular-season opener Wednesday, acquiring Devaughn Vele in a trade with the Broncos, who received two future draft picks in return.

Vele was the Broncos’ seventh-round draft pick in 2024 and had a breakout role in Sean Payton’s offense. The 6-foot-5 wideout would start in 7 games with Denver, bringing in 41 receptions for 475 yards and 3 touchdowns.
