Report: Saints Shopping LB Curtis Lofton On Trade Market

New Orleans Saints linebacker and defensive captain Curtis Lofton is reportedly being "shopped" by the franchise on the NFL trade market, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

Lofton has spent the last 3 seasons of his 7 year career with the Saints. The inside linebacker hasn't missed a single game during his pro career.

Lofton led the Saints in tackles in 2014 with 144.

He is due to count $9.25 million against the cap next season.

New Orleans is approximately $22 million over the projected salary cap for 2015, a number they must get below by the afternoon of March 10th.
