@MikeTriplett Tough timing on Lofton cut. Just had best season with #Saints but contract was also scheduled to balloon. Was due $7.25 million salary/bonus

Expected it. Sort of sucks but at the same time, we need to start getting speed at the LB position.

I agree that we should be looking for better talent than Lofton. Problem is, there is no one on the team now that was as good as he was. LB position is a trainwreck. Not surprising considering we last drafted a pro bowl LB'er in 1995, Mark Fields

there has to be at least 10-12 colleges that have better lb corps than us. Its pretty laughable.

Expected.

Big cap $$$ for a LBer that can't play in passing situations.

Love Lofton and think he was a great leader for us, but this was bound to happen.

We will just draft some. Sedrick Hodge, Courtney Watson, Matez Wilson, Stanley Arnoux... I mean we don't miss.

So who will exactly be our leaders in the locker room? JG I guess... Have no lbs but we let go our best one. Defense is going to be terrible again this year. Book it.
