A preview of what I'm praying that meeting sounds like.....

Loomis.... First of all Pierre I want to thank you for everything that you are doing and have done to keep this team competitive. You are our rock, I hope you know that. However, to be honest you didn't have your best season last season...... to be honest none of the backs did. I want you to finish your career as a Saint. In order to do that we are gonna need a couple of things..... 1 is obvious, and one not so much.... We need you to restructure..... That one I would hope is a given.... The second thing is we are moving on from Mark Ingram to a back who we think will be the future rock of our franchise. My sincere hope is that you do for " Jeremy Hill" what Duece Mcallister did for you when you arrived into the league......

stupid move if we do. restructure talk i hope. we do not have a third down back on the roster who can do what he does

Thomas,Ingram,Robinson combined Cap hit- $5.755ml
Darren Sproles Cap hit-$4.25ml,$750k dead money

As much as i rate him there is only one player i would be looking at cutting.
You can pick up a return guy late in the draft with the depth at WR/RB/CB

Sproles' legs are dead and sure as hell aren't worth 4.25M. Restructure/extend Thomas and trade Sproles when we can get something for him. We won't get a 7th for him if he's on our roster next season.

Sproles is still a great RB. Keep him. He scares defenses. Reading this board lately sounds like we are an MLB team starting for scratch again.

Hey PT, listen to Loomis not your agent.

Dead? I would say that he is just a step slower due to AGE and battling the injury bug. You can't maintain that quickness forever.
