I don't think we sign Lofton. He's probably using us as leverage so the Bucs can up their offer. They certainly aren't going to outbid themselves. As far as Bunkley is concerned, I don't consider it a big deal if we bring Franklin back into the fold. It's a weak DT market this off season... Bunkley imo isn't that much better than Franklin.

Looking at the bright side, if we do sign Brees longterm we probably can't afford Shanle.
