From the episode

Waddell is the key to all of that... Sean Payton was trying to run back a Super Bowl team and they didn't really add anyone in free agency at all. And Jalen Waddell is really the only player.
Mentioned at 14:00 – 15:00

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Payton's only major offensive addition; positioned as centerpiece of Saints-style passing attack.

Waddle is the key to Sean Payton's vision of running back a Northern Saints-style proficient passing attack; he's the only meaningful free-agent addition to a team trying to run back a Super Bowl roster, suggesting heavy usage and opportunity.
