Barrett Ruud was caught off guard by the Seahawks’ decision to trade him only months after bringing him to Seattle as a free agent.
He wasn’t about to complain about where he ended up, though.
“Usually, when somebody trades for you, they at least want you, so I’m excited,” Ruud said Wednesday following his first practice with the New Orleans Saints. “To go to a team like New Orleans is just a bonus.”
