The New Orleans Saints and wide receiver Michael Thomas are discussing a contract extension, according to Saints general manager Mickey Loomis, during an interview with Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio.

“We’ve had some conversations,” Loomis said during the appearance. “We love what Mike’s done for us. He’s a fantastic player, one of the best in the league. Hopefully, we can keep him a Saint for a long time.”

Thomas does not have a fifth-year option, so locking him up to a long-term deal is a priority for the Saints.

Thomas, 26, is set to make just $1.15 million this season under his current deal.

The New Orleans Saints have signed veteran wide receiver Rishard Matthews.

In a corresponding move, the Saints have released wide receiver Travin Dural to create the roster spot necessary for the addition of Matthews.

Following being granted his release from the Tennessee Titans in September of last season, Matthews landed with the New York Jets, where he caught 2 passes for 13 yards before landing on the injured reserve.

Matthews was the Titans’ leading receiver in 2016 and 2017.

The New Orleans Saints and defensive end Cameron Jordan have agreed to a contract extension that will keep him with the club through 2020, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The new, three-year, $52.5 million extension is a reward for Jordan who has been a consistent force for the Saints since he was drafted.

Jordan, 29, collected 12 sacks last season for the Saints.
