Saints

Saints HC Kellen Moore and GM Mickey Loomis continue to field questions about whether or not the team will bring back veterans DE Cameron Jordan, RB Alvin Kamara, and QB/TE Taysom Hill.

“Obviously, he’s meant a lot to this organization for a long time,” Moore said of Jordan on Monday, via the Associated Press. “Last year, he was a big-time leader for our program. So, obviously, would love to have him.”

“We’re just trying to see how he’s going to fit on our roster,” Loomis commented on Kamara. “Obviously, there’s a resource management element to it. We’ll get to that over the next week or two.”

“That’s more discussion that Taysom and I probably have to have,” Loomis added on Hill. “Those guys have earned the right for self-determination. We’re not going to put any deadlines on anything.”
