Saints weigh tough offseason calls on Hill, Jordan and Kamara's future
The New Orleans Saints face key decisions this offseason as several veteran players approach uncertain futures. Contract talks, free-agency moves, and injury concerns are shaping the team’s next steps.
Among the standout names, Taysom Hill remains unsigned, while Cameron Jordan has received a contract offer after another strong season. Taysom Hill has yet to decide his next move. The versatile player, now a free agent, has not been offered a new deal by the Saints. In 2025, he once again proved his value by recording over 100 yards and a touchdown in a single game. His career achievements are unmatched—he is the only player in the Super Bowl era with more than 1,000 yards each in passing, rushing, and receiving.
Meanwhile, the Saints have extended an offer to defensive end Cameron Jordan. The 36-year-old remains the franchise’s all-time sack leader with 132, including 10.5 in the 2025 season. His consistency has made him a cornerstone of the defence for over a decade.
At running back, Alvin Kamara’s future is less clear. Still under contract, he struggled through the 2025 campaign, posting career lows in multiple categories due to a knee injury. The team has not indicated whether he will remain a focal point of the offence.
In free agency, the Saints added Travis Etienne to their backfield. The signing provides depth and a potential replacement if Kamara’s role diminishes or changes. The Saints must now resolve multiple contract situations before the new season. Jordan’s experience and production make him a priority, while Hill’s unique skill set leaves a gap if he departs. Kamara’s recovery and Etienne’s arrival will also influence the team’s offensive plans. The coming weeks will clarify how New Orleans shapes its roster for 2026.
