As the focus shifts toward 2013, here's an interesting topic for you all to debate in the comments streams today. If you could only keep five New Orleans Saints players heading into 2013, who would they be?


New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (80) dunks his second touchdown during a game between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints.

Obviously everyone will say Drew Brees, so this question is really about the other four. I also think tight end Jimmy Graham will be close to a unanimous pick (he'd be on my list). After that, it gets a bit interesting.

Strong cases could be made for guard Jahri Evans, left tackle Jermon Bushrod, tailback Darren Sproles, receiver Marques Colston, cornerback Jabari Greer, linebacker Curtis Lofton and end Cameron Jordan for various reasons. I also wouldn't rule out safeties Malcolm Jenkins and Roman Harper - or even Pro Bowl punter Thomas Morstead.

Or maybe some of you love the potential of receiver Joe Morgan or defensive tackle Akiem Hicks enough to put them on your list. Or longtime fan favorites Pierre Thomas or Lance Moore. Or you don't want to see veterans Will Smith or Jonathan Vilma get away.

Make your case for these guys or any others below.

And Happy New Year!
