The reported $789.5 million handshake deal between New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson and Drew Brees to become the new General Manager following Mickey Loomis’ departure seems to be a topic of debate. While some sources claim this massive deal is a done deal,¹ ² others suggest it’s entirely false and that Mickey Loomis is still firmly in his position as General Manager.³
In fact, according to Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post, Loomis is reportedly “bulletproof” as far as Benson is concerned, and there are no plans for his departure. This contradicts the initial report of Brees taking over as General Manager with a record-breaking contract.
It’s worth noting that Brees has been rumored to be involved with the Saints in some capacity, but the details of his involvement are unclear. If you’re looking for the latest updates on this story, I recommend checking reputable sports news outlets for confirmation.
