"We have short memories," Loomis said. "There's been lots of times where you've had core players that are unrestricted free agents, that happens, and occasionally you lose some that you don't want to lose. It's part of the business and we just have to move on when that happens. I don't like when it happens, and we'll do everything we can not to let that happen but you've got one pie and we've got to divide it up amongst a lot of good players and people who've had success in our building. And hopefully we can do that. I think the fact that Drew Brees is a part of this free agent class makes it seem a little more daunting than it would be ordinarily. But, look, less than 8 months ago we had 26 unrestricted free agents a week, a week and a half before practice began. I don't know that it gets any more daunting than that. There were some good players in that group - Roman Harper and Dave Thomas, I mean there were some good, solid players. Real good players in that group and guys that meant a lot to our team just as the guys in this class mean a lot to our team. I think the key thing here that hopefully gives them some comfort and it certainly gives us some comfort is that I think to a man they'd all say they'd like to be back with the Saints and I think we would say to a man we would like to have them back. Once you have that as a starting point, it gives us a chance to get them signed and we'll see what happens."
