Overview

  • Los Angeles completed the trade with New Orleans minutes before the NFL deadline, with multiple outlets citing Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport.
  • The Saints receive a 2027 sixth-round pick for Penning, a former first-round selection in 2022.
  • Penning has started at both tackle spots and at guard in New Orleans, logging six starts at left guard this season.
  • The Chargers, 6-3 and protecting Justin Herbert for a playoff push, lost Slater in training camp and Alt to season-ending ankle surgery.
  • New Orleans declined Penning’s fifth-year option, and he is on track for 2026 free agency, making this a low-cost, short-term addition for L.A. and a value recoup for the Saints.
