2026 Saints Offseason: Voiding contracts

By Ross Jackson

Along with the outgoing free agents currently set to become available this offseason, the New Orleans Saints have a few deals that are set to void the day before the new league year. Those contracts will send players to the open market as non-compensatory free agents if an extension or re-signing agreement has not been met. The Saints have four such players that could see themselves hitting free agency a day early on March 10.

DE Cameron Jordan

The face of the Saints’ franchise since the retirement of Hall of Fame inductee and quarterback Drew Brees, Jordan is a player that many would like to see finish his career in New Orleans where it started in 2011. Jordan is in a remarkably unique situation as a 15-year pro looking to get into his 16th year after notching double-digit sacks. Usually, teams are either paying a player to return for their age-37 season or for coming off of a 10.5-sack year. It’s not often that clubs have to work out a viable deal for a player that is both.

LB Demario Davis

Similarly, Davis is also going into his age-37 season, but is also coming off of a career-high year in total tackles with 143. The linebacker will surely have suitors if he sees the open market. But as a veteran leader, like Jordan, being back in the Crescent City would be the best-case scenario for the Saints.

QB Taysom Hill

Hill’s season ended with another injury, but per general manager Mickey Loomis, it isn’t a particularly substantial one. It is, however, another injury for the offensive weapon, coming off of a season where the team’s usage and his production did not live up to the usual expectations. Hill returned from a major knee injury earlier than anticipated last year, but things never fully came together in head coach Kellen Moore’s offense for that corner of the playbook. It will be interesting to see if Hill continues in New Orleans, heads elsewhere or makes the decision to broach retirement.

TE Foster Moreau

A son of the city of New Orleans, a return for Moreau would be in no way surprising. He’s a veteran voice and vocal presence who understands very well the connection between the organization and community. While his counting stats weren’t eye-popping in 2025 (seven catches for 59 receiving yards and no touchdown catches) his contributions in protection, the run game and as a leader could be worth a re-investment for a manageable deal.
