The New Orleans Saints enter the draft with questions hovering about two long-term veterans, running back Alvin Kamara and current free-agent defensive end Cameron Jordan.
Kamara’s situation has been in question since the club signed RB Travis Etienne to a long-term deal. Kamara has said in the past he’d consider retiring rather than playing elsewhere. Meanwhile, Jordan, the Saints’ all-time franchise sack leader, remains available to potentially return.
General manager Mikey Loomis was asked on Wednesday whether the draft could impact either situation.
“I think that it could impact it,” he said, via Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio. “You know, we’ll see what happens, and that goes both ways, it could impact them, from their perspective as well as ours.”
Added Loomis: “Those are two-way questions, right. They have things that they have to determine and we do, too, so we’ll see what happens after the draft.”
The GM also confirmed NFL Media draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah’s report that head coach Kellen Moore told offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier not to worry about being with the team during the draft, so he can spend it with his son, Garrett Nussmeier, a quarterback prospect out of LSU.
“Doug should be with Garrett,” Loomis said. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
