one ten million dollar a year man is enough. look at the complication it causes with the cap. i hate to lose him but i am sure they have what if feelers out there.

Let him go. He's disappeared when we've needed him most.

We'll cave and overpay, and overpay a lot.

This is a BS argument that is drummed up by the media to make and sensationalize a normal contract dispute..... LOL... If this is the case many defenders could claim the position where they could claim the best paycheck.... in the end... He is a TE.... Loomis won't overpay for his services and if they won't budge on their position the Saints will get two first round picks

We should do a non exclusive franchise and try to get two first round picks. I think that is the best move for the saints because I think if we get a good enough pick a guy like Eric Ebron would be great. He is a Vernon Davis like tight end with his great speed.

Said it before, say it again.....if he's considered a receiver, he's not top 10 at that position. Thus, making him not worthy of the franchise tag in the first place. He's top 2 at TE. He should get about $8.5 million a year. $11 million? Lmfao!

His numbers clearly put him up there with any top ten reciever

The year he plays all his snaps lined up as a WR and puts up the same numbers I'll agree.

No, he was 15th in yards, 13 in catches. VERY big difference if you are talking franchise tag numbers

Those numbers appear to be out of the top 10. Interesting! I saw this guy, his name was Rez Burna, and he said Jimmy Graham wouldn't be top 10 at receiver.... intriguing.
