Mickey Loomis, Saints GM, dismissed retirement rumors and expressed confidence in rebuilding the team after a disappointing 5-12 season.
Loomis praised quarterback Derek Carr, attributing his struggles to injuries among key offensive players and reaffirming his belief in Carr's abilities.
The Saints are actively searching for a new head coach, with several candidates interviewed, including Aaron Glenn, Mike Kafka, and Kellen Moore.
Loomis highlighted the impact of injuries on the team's performance, citing absences of stars like Taysom Hill, Chris Olave, and Alvin Kamara as significant setbacks.
