I didn't sign in to get entire article; didn't want to copy & paste entire article.

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.”

Saints fans have been privy to this for years. Nice to see it confirmed from an ex-teammate.
