This is not a rebuild I repeat: This is not a rebuild. That’s effectively what New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has said for the past two offseasons despite losing Drew Brees to retirement after the 2020 season and then losing head coach Sean Payton after the 2021 season. “I think our team feels confident in our ability, but there’s so many variables that go into a season,” Loomis said at the start of training camp this year. “But we’re not a rebuild.

The New Orleans Saints were very much alive for a playoff spot on Sunday afternoon, but their hopes of doing anything in the playoffs looked a lot murkier before they knew if they’d made the postseason.  The Saints lost quarterback Taysom Hill to a Lisfranc injury to his foot, New Orleans coach Sean Payton told Fox sideline reporter Laura Okmin. Hill wasn’t ruled out, but that’s generally a serious injury. Trevor Siemian replaced Hill.  The Saints needed a win and a San Francisco 49ers loss… Source link
