Lofton OKs 5-year Saints deal
Atlanta Falcons free-agent linebacker Curtis Lofton has joined the New Orleans Saints on a five-year deal, the team announced Saturday.
His acquisition could lead to the departure of middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma.
“Curtis is a versatile, hard-working player that has displayed a knack for being around the football, and more importantly, making plays on the ball,” Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said.
“He has the ability to play all three linebacker positions, and we feel that he’s just entering the prime of his career. We think he can come to New Orleans and fit in well and provide us with a significant contribution to our defense.”
Lofton, 25, is an athletic, productive player who recorded 147 tackles, one sack, a forced fumble and two interceptions last season.
In four NFL seasons, the former University of Oklahoma standout has piled up 492 tackles, four sacks, three interceptions and seven forced fumbles.
