Lofton being shopped?

If it is true I am guessing there has been a conversation with Ryan & Allen. Don't worry there is a plan.

Maybe Ireland has something to do with this also.

Lofton is a 2 down LB in 3 down clothing.

I defended his tackle total but that may have been more due to sheer number of snaps.

He missed A LOT of tackles last year....

We have the crappiest defense in the league. There isn't a player on this defense that should feel safe.

Yeah so lets get rid of one the best D players we have. Makes perfect sense.

Also a lot was said about the lack of veteran leadership last year and now dumping PT and Lofton, two of the leaders we have left. Might as well dump Colston and Evans as long as we're gutting any semblance of Veteran presence.

How do you know Lofton was the best?

How do you know Lofton and Pierre weren't part of the problem?

I do recall hearing PT in particular was upset about Sproles being traded.

Colston did not live up to his contract, neither did Evans.

And Lofton was a good player, but not great. I'll agree with Boutte in the sense that Lofton was one of our better defenders, but he's not even close to being worth his cap figure this year.

If we can get something good in return for Lofton, then I don't think its a bad move.

A 7th rounder? No F'ing way... but if its a mid rounder we should really listen.

And as holloween said, maybe we're trying to acquire solid 3-4 players instead of tweeners.
