The exception would be if he wants to have a shot at a ring in what may be his last season. If he doesn’t want to leave, I would agree that the Saints would look better if they let him retire here rather than trade him for a late round (likely to miss) draft pick.
Agree. And, if Jordan didn't want to be traded, a trade would probably make an unhappy locker room even more unhappy. It's just not the way to treat someone after many years of production and leadership-- what a message.
