Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis stopped by the SportsTalk radio huddle with me and Bobby on Tuesday. Loomis gave us an update on how things are going in free agency as the Saints also look ahead to the draft next month.

One of Bobby’s first questions for Mickey was about finding a new starting LT to protect Drew. Loomis said that while Bushrod will be missed, he wasn’t completely surprised that another team made an offer the Saints just could not match.

“Jermon did a good job for us,” Loomis said. “I heard the same kind of concerns when Jamal Brown left us, and Jermon stepped in at that time and has done a good job for a number of years for us. So, the same thing will happen here. We'll find either a guy who's currently on the roster, or somebody we bring in, who will take the mantle who will step up and play that position. “

So, is the job Charles Brown’s to lose? Not so fast, according to Loomis.
