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. |

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. |

Re: Lofton being shopped?
PFF docked Lofton for 22 missed tackles in 2014 while giving him poor marks against the run and in coverage.

Re: Lofton being shopped?
I hate to say it, but if Lofton is dealt, he will not fetch more than a 5th-6th round pick. If this report is true, it means the Saints have decided to part ways due to cap reasons and are trying to get a little something before cutting him.

Re: Lofton being shopped?
That's what has me p**sed the most about PT, leadership was a huge question mark last year so we salary dump a veteran. Brilliant
