DEAL DONE: New Orleans Saints Owner Gayle Benson Make a Deal worth $789.5 Million Contract with Former Saints QB Drew Brees As new General Manager Following Mickey Loomis Departure…
New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson has reportedly secured a massive handshake agreement with former Saints quarterback Drew Brees, positioning him as the team’s new general manager following Mickey Loomis’ departure. The contract is valued at $789.5 million, a substantial figure that reflects the organization’s confidence in Brees’ leadership and understanding of the game.
This move marks a significant transition in Saints history, not only because of Loomis’ longstanding role as a seasoned general manager but also because Brees is a well-loved icon in New Orleans. Known for his years of dedication as the Saints’ quarterback, Brees brings both football acumen and a deep connection to the city and its fans, making him a natural choice to lead the franchise in a new direction.
Brees, who retired from his playing career with the Saints in 2021, has been a prominent figure in the NFL and the city of New Orleans. He’s widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the game, holding numerous records and having been instrumental in the Saints’ Super Bowl XLIV victory. His transition to management might seem unexpected to some, but his reputation as a meticulous planner, a high-level strategist, and a consummate professional gives him a strong foundation to take on the challenges of managing a team.
With the reported $789.5 million contract, Brees is set to become one of the highest-paid executives in the NFL. This impressive figure suggests that the Saints are betting on a long-term commitment, hoping Brees can utilize his knowledge of both offensive and defensive dynamics to build a competitive and cohesive roster. His role will involve overseeing scouting, player contracts, and overall team strategy, all while trying to maintain the Saints’ competitive edge within the challenging NFC South division.
The transition also signals the end of an era for Mickey Loomis, who has been instrumental in the Saints’ operations for nearly two decades. Under his management, the Saints saw multiple playoff appearances and their only Super Bowl win in 2010.
Loomis’ departure is certainly the end of a remarkable chapter, but the new chapter with Brees promises to uphold the team’s legacy. If successful, Brees could set a precedent for other retired players to transition into high-profile front-office roles, bringing fresh insights from a player’s perspective.

Aaron Rodgers Could Join Current Playoff Team In 2025 says NFL Insider
Aaron Rodgers Could Join Current Playoff Team In 2025 says NFL Insider
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers could reportedly join the Pittsburgh Steelers during the upcoming offseason, according to veteran NFL insider Peter King during a recent episode of the Let’s Go podcast.
“I think we have seen Russell Wilson hit a wall, and whether [head coach] Mike Tomlin is even thinking about it…” King said of the Steelers’ quarterback situation.
“If I were the Pittsburgh Steelers, knowing that I’ve got [defensive tackle] Cam Heyward, [edge rusher] T.J. Watt — I got guys on defense with their expiration dates not long in the future — I would want to come in and try to get a quarterback who could make me competitive with [the AFC North Division rival] Baltimore [Ravens] and Cincinnati [Bengals] in 2025. And that guy, to me, is Aaron Rodgers.”
Rodgers is currently signed with the Jets through the 2025 season, however, is schedule to make an un-guaranteed $37.5 million on a $23.5 million salary cap number and could either be traded or cut if New York decides to move on this offseason.
The four-time MVP suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during his first drive with the Jets in 2023 and experienced one of the worst seasons of his career in 2024, leading the team to a 5-14 record.
Wilson signed a one-year contract with the Steelers after being released by the Denver Broncos last offseason. The former Super Bowl champion missed Pittsburgh’s first six games before going 6-5 as a starter in 2024.
The Steelers are the No. 6 seed in the AFC and will face the division rival Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card Round on Saturday (January 11), having previously won at home in November and lost on the road in December during their annual two matchups

CONGRATULATIONS: New Orleans Saints defensive end Can Jordan Wins the 2025 Bart Starr Award recipient
Cam Jordan, a defensive end for the New Orleans Saints, will receive the 2025 Bart Starr Award for his exceptional character, integrity, and leadership both on and off the football field.

The honor will be presented during the Super Bowl Breakfast 2025 on Saturday, February 8 from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. CT at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, where Jordan plays. The 38th annual NFL-sanctioned event brings together fans, local business leaders, and football icons for a morning of festivities prior of Super Bowl Sunday.
In addition to his contributions on the field, Jordan is active in giving back to the New Orleans community. The Cam Jordan Foundation was founded to improve the lives of children and the community. It collaborates with groups such as the Youth Empowerment Project and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. It focuses on offering resources, youth development activities, and presenting creative experiences to help young people grow and have more opportunities.
Jordan’s charity, in addition to annual turkey giveaways and back-to-school supply handouts, offers youth sports programs for needy children. His most recent outstanding gesture of kindness was to make a big donation to those most affected by the terrorist attack in the French Quarter. Jordan, the Saints’ first-round draft pick in 2011, is an eight-time Pro Bowler, a member of the NFL’s 2010 All-Decade squad, and the Saints’ all-time sack leader (121.5).

Jets Interview ‘Hot’ Name, 3-Time Super Bowl Champ
Jets Interview ‘Hot’ Name, 3-Time Super Bowl Champ
Several members of the Kansas City Chiefs celebrating another Super Bowl win.
The New York Jets are looking to follow one of the best organizations in the NFL.
This week they interviewed Kansas City Chiefs assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi for their vacant GM position.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini described him as a “hot name” in league circles.
“Has been around a lot of winning. Three Super Bowl rings. Brett Veach’s right-hand man since 2021. Started as low-level assistant under GM Scott Pioli. No previous GM experience. Has been with only one organization. Also linked to Titans’ opening,” Cimini revealed.
One of The Best GM Candidates Available
Play
Borgonzi started off as a tight-end coach for Amherst College in 2002. However, it didn’t take him long to find his true calling at the front office level.
Before joining the Chiefs, he was at Boston College for two seasons as their assistant recruiting coordinator. Then from 2009 to the present day, he has been a key member of the Chiefs organization.
“Borgonzi has been with the Chiefs for 16 years. He has done every job under the sun over there: pro scouting, college scouting, budget managing – like all of these different things. He has been the assistant GM now for three years where it’s like okay you’re along side the hip of Brett Veach where you’re a part of every massive decision for this organization with him and Andy Reid. You’re helping run drafts, helping run free agency, dealing with street free agency, waiver wires,” Jets analyst Connor Rogers said on “Badlands.”
Sam McDowell, a columnist for The Kansas City Star, said on social media, “It’s long past due for Chiefs assistant GM Mike Borgonzi to get a chance to run a team.”
“In terms of resume, not many guys in this cycle [are] more qualified to get a shot at the GM chair,” Rogers added on X previously Twitter.
Jets Might Want to Pull Off a Chiefs Double Dip Chip
Borgonzi wasn’t the only member of the Chiefs the Jets kicked the tires on.
The same day that they interviewed Borgonzi, they also interviewed Matt Nagy from Kansas City.
Nagy has been at the NFL level since 2008. For eight of those 17 seasons, he has been a member of the Chiefs in some capacity.
The first five seasons were spent with the Philadelphia Eagles as an intern, coaching assistant, and as a quality control coach.
The complicated evaluation for Nagy is what he did for all of those years with the Chiefs. Andy Reid runs the offense so anyone with offensive labels isn’t running the full ship. That means Nagy has to do a really good job in the interview room explaining his role.
Nagy did get a chance to be a head coach with the Chicago Bears from 2018 through 2021. During those four seasons, Nagy finished with a 34-31 record, won a division title, went to the playoffs twice, and the highlight was his first year when he won 12 games.
There is a lot to like on that resume but for whatever reason public perception doesn’t look back fondly on his time with Chicago.
If the Jets hire Borgonzi that doesn’t necessarily mean they have to hire Nagy, but that is a natural connection to make. With the Jets already having interviewed both individuals, a discount double check remains a distinct possibility.
