It's going to be interesting to see what kind of players we draft. We can go in so many different directions.

That last part is could be a thing of beauty. You let the BPA natural talent in the draft guide you, mold around the talent instead of making the talent fit your mold.

It's much more efficient.

I'm sad that Lance and Darren are going/gone, but it does make me wonder with all the dismissals, combined with the salary cap increase, if we could go for a big name talent like Orakpo or Byrd. That said, we are probably better off letting Loomis pick second-tier free agents who are undervalued like we did with Greer and Keenan Lewis.

And then in the 90's they just decided it would be simpler to pay them under the table. Sorry, I like to grind that old axe once in a while

Most if not all of the veterans released by the Saints have played their last down in an NFL game. It does shock a little bit, but necessary to make these moves.

I think Greer and Vilma may be done, but I can see everyone else playing somewhere next year.

Harper, Moore, Smith and Sproles will certainly be playing.

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see Greer back at minimum after testing the market. Cant see many teams looking at him and offering much salary with his injuries

You're contradicting yourself. We need to go younger, stronger and faster then we need to part ways with them to get younger, stronger... faster yet to be seen. They were apart of our success but "what have they done for me lately" - they become expendable.
