I honestly think a "widespread overhaul" is the only way to go. Look, we (and by "we", I'm including the Saints organization) all thought this team was a real contender entering last year, and found out the hard way that they're not.
So, if you buy the premise that you need a plus-player at the QB position in today's NFL to win a title (and I think you do), then retaining an offensive skill position core, refreshing the OL, and declaring open season on the defensive side of the ball makes sense if you think you have 2 years (maybe more, if his deal gets extended or reupped)of Brees being an above-average QB.
A big reshuffling on D in 2015, with the hope you're taking multiple steps forward prior to 2017. If you're not positioning yourself to be a true contender, then there's no point in paying Brees and Graham all that cheddar in the first place.

Not sure where NOLA.com is getting their numbers. The only have $2 million in dead money for Lofton. Unless he was designated a post - June 1 cut, he has $5 million in dead money.
