New Orleans Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis sparked controversy after a cryptic remark about former quarterback Drew Brees in a recent locker room speech. A video clip surfaced online, showing Loomis making an off-hand comment that appeared to downplay Brees’ legacy with the team, despite the legendary quarterback’s status as the franchise’s all-time leader in nearly every passing category.
The video, recorded during a team meeting, quickly went viral, as Loomis can be heard saying, “Without Drew too, the Saints are winning.” While the statement was seemingly innocuous, many fans took offense, interpreting it as a slight to Brees, who led the Saints to a Super Bowl title in 2009 and spent 20 seasons with the team. The remark comes at a time when tensions are high among the Saints faithful, with some vocal fans calling on team owner Gayle Benson to consider replacing Loomis as GM.
The controversy intensified as social media erupted, with fans expressing concern that Loomis’ comments undermined the team’s rich history with Brees at the helm. Some questioned whether Loomis was suggesting that the Saints are better off without the future Hall of Famer, despite Brees’ immense contribution to the franchise’s success.
Loomis has yet to address the backlash directly, but his words have undoubtedly raised questions about his relationship with the Saints’ past and his vision for the future. The Saints, currently in the midst of a rebuilding phase, have enjoyed some success without Brees, but Loomis’ remark has left fans wondering about the direction of the team and how much respect the organization still holds for its greatest-ever player.
As tensions mount, all eyes will be on the Saints’ leadership in the coming weeks.
