Sean Payton: Saints and Broncos worked hard to agree on compensation for me

How hard could it have been? And I am serious in asking the question. The compensation agreed on was in the range of what many in the media and most on this forum had said was the range. For the Saints, the floor was a first-round pick. For Denver, the ceiling was with first-round picks only one. And there was a general understanding that additional draft compensation might be needed if the first-round pick was low, like Denver's pick 29.
