Loomis comments on WWL this morning

stockman311 · 03-12-2010, 12:44 PM

Loomis on replacing Fujita: "We’re not able to participate at a very good level in the UFA market." i,e. fill from within.

Loomis said Little's visit isn't rescheduled yet, also said they'll talk with Jake D. about how he sees himself & his role.

Loomis hinted that it's more likely they'll draft or sign a FA DE than a LB. They have LB's "in house."

Loomis on Bush: "“He’ll be back and he’ll be back at his current salary"

Loomis on a Brees contract negotiation: "He has a contract. That’s all I’m going to say about that."

No problemo.

Loomis: "I also want to assure our fans we’re back at work. Preparing for the upcoming season and defending the champ"

stockman311 · 03-12-2010, 12:50 PM

Loomis: "...We would like to have Darren back. We would."

stockman311 · 03-12-2010, 12:50 PM

Loomis: "Over the last four years, New Orleans has become an attractive place for players to come to for a lot of reasons."

Loomis: James Hall is currently visiting the Saints now. Jake Delhomme will be here later today.

Here is my amatuer take on Loomis' comments:

The Brees deal will probably get done AFTER the Manning and Brady deals get done. He will receive less than both but will be in the ballpark.

The Jahri Evans deal still has to be worked out and the Saints are probably waiting on money to flow in from season ticket renewals to sign him. Sharper is low on his list of TO DO items right now.

Reggie Bush will have to renegotiate next year.

DE and DT appear to be a bigger concern right now than LB to the team.

To all the talking head morons saying the Saints are celebrating too much right now. Shove it.

Loomis gave just enough information, vague, to say something and yet not too much.
That is what a person does in his position.
Fans, media are satisfied with just enough tidbits and are not in the dark, but at the same time, there is no need to put everything out there.
Fine by me.
I like that.
I also trust these people got the Saints to SB winners and they will get their business straight with signing the right players .
