rumor: bushrod may be lowballed

With Bushrod it will be all about value for the Saints. Loomis has an idea and range of what he wants/can pay to keep Bushrod and if the market moves beyond that he will let him go. I do believe that Bushrod is worth keeping as he clearly is a serviceable starter. He is not, however, a premier OT and if some team wants to break the bank to get him, so be it!

In terms of the guards, Drew is a short QB and he needs to have an interior OL who can keep teams from pushing the pocket into him. To that end I do believe they do place value on quality OG's.

Overall, the thing I most want to see in 2013 is an OL, with the new OL coach, who can move people off the ball and get the running game functional again. I am not sure that it is a personnel issue or one of scheme, but we will probably find out with a new coach this year.
