Saints GM Mickey Loomis addresses futures of key veterans

The New Orleans Saints are entering a transition under Kellen Moore, and three familiar names now face uncertain futures.

Speaking to the press before a charity golf event, according to Associated Press, Mickey Loomis has addressed Alvin Kamara, Cameron Jordan and Taysom Hill, with each case carrying a different contract and roster question.

That leaves the Saints balancing respect for franchise veterans with a clear need to reshape the squad and manage resources.

Jordan appears to have the clearest route back, as Loomis said the Saints have made the defensive end an offer after his 10.5-sack season.

Kamara’s situation is less settled. The general manager said New Orleans is assessing how he fits on the roster, while also pointing to a “resource management” element.

That phrase matters because Kamara is entering the final year of his deal, with a 2026 cap hit of roughly $10.4 million.

His future has become more complicated after the Saints signed Travis Etienne, giving Moore another major backfield option as the offense changes direction.

Hill is also unsigned, and his route back looks less advanced. Loomis said further talks are needed and confirmed there is no deadline on the process.

The 70-year-old general manager also stated those players have earned the right to self-determination. The next step is whether that respect turns into new deals or a clean break.

For the Saints, the decisions will show how quickly Moore’s new era moves away from the last one.
