We’re entering the final stretch of the New Orleans Saints‘ schedule, and some players could be wearing black and gold for the final time through these last five games. Between pending free agents, older pros with retirement decisions ahead of them, and a couple of possible salary cap cuts, some guys aren’t long for New Orleans. Saints fans should enjoy them while they’re here, just in case this is the end of the line.

Here are five Saints players we’re going to be watching closely these next five weeks:

Taysom Hill

Hill is one of several big names playing out the last year of his contract, and if this is it for him, he’ll leave behind more than $13.7 million in dead money from the Saints restructuring his contract in the past. He’s been one of the most entertaining players to watch before and after the end of the Drew Brees-Sean Payton era, but Hill just isn’t the same athlete he once was after tearing up his knee last year. It’s admirable that he was able to return from such a serious injury. But at his age, and with his limitations on clear display, it’s probably time he consider calling it a career after 2025.

Alontae Taylor

Taylor is the only real starter headed for free agency — in the sense that he wouldn’t leave any dead money behind by joining a new team. He hasn’t quite been the difference-maker the Saints hoped for in Brandon Staley’s defense, and his inconsistent history probably lead them to hear out trade offers at the November deadline. These next five games won’t make or break the decision to re-sign him but it does feel like the front office has already chosen to move on after weighing offers from other teams. That isn’t something you can easily walk back when a lucrative contract extension is on the line.

Demario Davis

Davis is the oldest linebacker in the NFL, and somehow still playing at a really high level. He’s the loudest voice of leadership in the locker room. He’s also beginning to show his age at times. He could stick around in a reduced role, sure, and that might be the best thing for both parties with a staggering $14.3 million in dead money at play. If Davis does sign an extension and return for another year (or two), that number can be drastically reduced for the day he does decide to hang up his cleats. Just don’t assume he’ll be coming back too soon.

Cesar Ruiz

Ruiz is a different case. The Saints wouldn’t save any salary cap space by releasing him before June 1, but doing so with a post-June 1 designation would mean they receive a $6.8 million salary cap credit on June 2. So it’s worth it. To that end, circling back to the teams interested in trading for Ruiz at this year’s deadline is also a possibility. Either way, he’s been the constant in a bad interior offensive line that’s had a couple of different players snapping the ball from center and filling in at left guard. The Saints should move him, ideally in a trade to get a draft pick back, and look for players who better fit the scheme they want to run. It would be a disappointing end for the former first-round pick but Ruiz just hasn’t played well enough to last much longer.

Cameron Jordan

Are we sure Jordan is ready to retire? He’s just tied Rickey Jackson for the 17th-most sacks in NFL history, and he’s still got five bad-to-average offensive lines to go. If he does call it a day, the Saints would have to pay more than $18.7 million in dead money. They aren’t going to rush him out the door. And with Chase Young stepping up as a pass rusher outside they won’t have to. Jordan will have his pick of media opportunities when he’s ready to retire but it doesn’t feel like he’s as close to hanging it up now as he was a few months ago.
