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.
