When everyone was anticipating the New Orleans Saints to be one of the NFL’s worst teams in 2025, first-year head coach Kellen Moore got much better results than analysts expected. A year after winning just five games, Moore led the Saints to six wins, bringing them within two games of claiming the NFC South.
Last year, the Saints made several roster changes, most notably going from quarterback Derek Carr to second-round rookie Tyler Shough. This offseason, the Saints have come close to moving on from a franchise icon. But they may not be ready to say goodbye yet.
Recently, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis addressed a pair of still unsigned free agents, Taysom Hill and Cameron Jordan. Loomis revealed that the team has not made a contract offer to the soon-to-be 36-year-old Hill. However, they have extended another contract offer to the soon-to-be 37-year-old Jordan.
Whether things change between Hill and the Saints remains to be seen. For now, it appears that Hill has played his last snap as a member of the Saints. Of course, injuries could eventually change that mindset. Otherwise, perhaps his old head coach, Sean Payton, would have some interest in adding Hill to the Denver Broncos. But the fact that Hill has not landed in Denver yet may indicate that Payton isn’t too interested in the aging vet either.
As for Jordan, it’s easy to see how the Saints would want the one-time All-Pro back. The eight-time Pro Bowler is coming off a season in which he recorded 10.5 sacks. The only thing is, if the Saints are really interested in Jordan’s return, they may want to act quickly, as other contenders surely have an eye on Jordan too.
