GM Mickey Loomis signaled that decisions in the 2026 NFL Draft could shape both players’ fates, and in turn tease how Kamara and Jordan might respond to whatever path the team chooses.
Kamara is under contract but coming off a down year, and the Saints’ signing of running back Travis Etienne to a four-year deal has intensified questions about Kamara’s role and value. Trade talk has persisted as part of the broader roster calculus.
If Kamara were to move, teams such as Seattle and Denver have been mentioned as potential fits, likely offering a chance to pursue a late-career Super Bowl window. His age and recent production are part of the ongoing evaluation as the Saints explore their options.
Jordan, meanwhile, is an unsigned free agent who has publicly left the door open to different possibilities. After a bounce-back 2025 season with 10.5 sacks, questions remain about how teams view his age and remaining production, leaving his New Orleans future uncertain.
Overall, the Saints appear to be weighing a balance between leveraging veteran impact and embracing a younger core. The 2026 Draft looms as a pivotal factor in whether Kamara and Jordan remain with the team, or chart new courses elsewhere.
