Blah, the Saints just agreed to terms with Lofton on a five year deal. Talk about a great replacement for Jon Vilma. Sucks he's going to a division rival.

Yea I hate seeing Lofton going to the Saints, but I'm not worried about facing him or anything.

He's going to destroy Turner, I will say that.

If they keep Vilma at MLB and move Lofton outside I will laugh. What I read so far seems like they might be leaning that direction.

That would be amusing. Curtis will still be a running game beast as usual though.

Yes he will eat Turner, I see maybe 1 year left in him.

I know Lofton is a good player, but I'm not that concerned about losing him. There are better positions to throw big contracts at than 4-3 MLB. I'd rather see big money for defense thrown at lineman and cornerbacks first.

I'd have no problem if it meant we were signing McNeil or bringing in another CB. But most of the CBs are off the market and we seem to be content with Baker as our starting LT, which is embarrassing.

Disappointed we couldn't put that up. Obviously didn't think much of him. Probably Nolan IMO.
He's not a big playmaker but it's one more position to worry about.

I think if we had a better cap outlook, we definitely would have. But I agree, this is a Nolan thing, thinking Lofa/Dent can fill this role. I'm willing to defer to his judgement here.

Look into Nolan's history you'll see he always had very successful inside linebackers. I'm sure letting Lofton walk won't be a problem for us.

Pretty shocked we let him go for $30 mil. What did Lofa end up getting? And if thats the case let Harry Douglas walk and pay Lofton IMO if it was just a cap thing.
Like Other said must have had to be a Nolan decision.

I think it had more to do with Nolan told him he was gonna be standing next to him on 3rd down instead of between the hashes.
taints only had 1 LB and he may be suspended for the year. Lofton will get to play on 3rd down in NO

They just signed David Hawthorne too. I don't know where they are getting all this money from.

Sean Payton's suspension saves them $5.8 million.

I am damnit!!! Back to the Falcons it looks like Marcus McNeill's career might be over, so hopefully Sam Baker can finally stay healthy.

Im not sure if thats a good thing or not. I am also 100% sure with me not knowing if its good or bad definitely means were going to have problems with the O-Line again.

I could definitely see us drafting Mitchell Schwartz (who I like a lot) if he's there round 2.

I would be quite happy with Schwartz @55.
He will not be a "leave him on an island" LT but he looks like he can be at least as good as a healthy Sam baker.
