Former Oklahoma and Kingfisher standout Curtis Lofton signed a five-year deal with the Saints, where he will replace Jonathan Vilma, who is appealing a one-year suspension for the bounty scandal.

Curtis Lofton will replace Jonathan Vilma, the New Orleans middle linebacker who is appealing a one-year suspension for his role in the Saints' bounty scandal.

It's such a hot button topic that Lofton's grandmother, Terrell, was curious why her grandson, a free agent, willingly signed a five-year deal with a team that will play this season without its head coach, Sean Payton, who is also suspended for a year.

“I feel I'm back in a football city,” Lofton said. “Coming from Oklahoma where football is everything, I went to Atlanta where they have so many other things going on. In New Orleans, the Saints are No. 1. Everybody loves the Saints. It's been awesome.”
