The Denver Broncos and Sean Payton are at it again. They are signing another former New Orleans Saints player. 

This time, it's tight end Lucas Krull. The Broncos are adding him to their practice squad.

Krull led the NFL tight ends in receiving during this preseason. Ultimately, the depth at the position for the Saints prevented them from keeping the young TE. 

The Saints are rostering Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau, and Jimmy Graham at tight end. Not to mention, Taysom Hill will take some snaps at that spot as well. 

For Denver, Payton adds another former Saints player. That shouldn't surprise a soul. He has been picking up depth pieces from New Orleans consistently since he arrived in Denver. He also traded for former Saints kicker Wil Lutz yesterday, too. 

It will be interesting to see if Krull makes a difference for the Broncos this season in Payton's offense.
