His tenure with the team has been marked by impressive roster decisions, successful drafts, and an overall commitment to building a competitive squad.
In a brief statement released by the team, Loomis said: “After much consideration, I’ve decided that it’s time to step down from my role as General Manager of the New Orleans Saints. It has been an incredible journey, but I feel it’s the right moment for me to pursue other opportunities and spend more time with my family. I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished here and I look forward to watching this organization continue to succeed in the future.”
