Hey, NFL fans! Trade deadline drama is back—and this time, the main character is OL Trevor Penning. Yep, you heard that right. The Saints shipped him off to the Los Angeles Chargers at the very last minute. We all know trade deadline day is a bit like a player lottery—some go, some come, and we watch with popcorn in hand.
The trade details say, “The Los Angeles Chargers added some much-needed offensive line help in the final minutes of the NFL trade deadline, acquiring tackle Trevor Penning from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick.” And that’s the key point. In other words, the Chargers got Penning to strengthen their line, while the Saints scored a 2027 sixth-round pick. Kind of a “future for present” vibe.
Penning isn’t new to the Saints’ lineup. Drafted 19th overall out of Northern Iowa in 2022, he started at left tackle, then shifted to right tackle when Taliese Fuaga joined the team. He started all 17 games—a coach’s dream. But now, it’s time for a new team. “Saints are trading OL Trevor Penning to Chargers.”

This trade became even more urgent for the Chargers because their left tackle Joe Alt is out for the season. Yep, same injury, same lost time—“left tackle Joe Alt needed season-ending right ankle surgery after hurting it in Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans.” So this trade isn’t optional—it’s their line-saving move.
And the Saints? They’re reorganizing their line with new guys Kelvin Banks Jr. and Fuaga. On trade day, the Saints themselves said
we made two trades today at the deadline

Off the field, you could say, “these days, it’s all about lining up the lineup.”
In the end, Penning is in the final year of his rookie contract and ready for a fresh start with the Chargers. Chargers fans, watch closely—Penning might become your new favorite. Saints fans? You’ll miss him a bit but look forward to what the future holds.
