David Jacobs also told the newspaper that Lehr, who played four seasons for the Dallas Cowboys before moving on to the Atlanta Falcons, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now the New Orleans Saints, used a hair-loss-prevention drug that can mask steroid use.

Lehr's attorney told the Associated Press that his client hasn't used banned substances since he was suspended for four games while playing for the Falcons during the 2006 season and stressed that he has passed NFL drug tests since.

''Mr. Jacobs has peddled these tales to the government unsuccessfully,'' said Lehr's lawyer, Paul Coggins. ''He is a confessed felon awaiting sentencing and is desperate to implicate others to shorten his sentence.''

Coggins said Jacobs has threatened to end Lehr's career because Lehr, who recently signed with the Saints, wouldn't pay Jacobs' legal fees. Authorities are investigating allegations that Lehr distributed steroids -- possibly to other NFL players -- but he hasn't been charged with a crime.

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis was intentionally non-committal during his pre-draft press conference on Tuesday, not wanting to offer any information to the competition.

But he did admit that the Saints have talked with a number of teams about what it would cost to move up from the No. 10 pick in the draft. And he said he doesn't foresee the Saints trading down from that spot.

"It's all preliminary discussion. Nothing concrete," Loomis said when asked about reports that the Saints have talked with the St. Louis Rams (No. 2) and Atlanta Falcons (No. 3), among other teams. "The first step is to get an idea of what the cost to move forward is going to be. So that's really what the discussions to date have been. 'A) Are you interested in moving backwards? B) What's your thinking in terms of the compensation you're going to want for that?'"

Loomis was especially cryptic when he was asked if the Saints are targeting a specific player, or if they just like the value near the top of the draft in general.

"Yes," he said, smiling.

"Yes to what?" he was asked.

"All of it," he responded.

The speculation is that the Saints covet LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, because he fills their most glaring need. But they might have their eye on tackle Sedrick Ellis or defensive ends Vernon Gholston and Chris Long.

Loomis declined to address reports that the Saints have discussed trading for New York Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey, saying he did not want to talk about any players on other teams.

John Clayton is reporting that the Saints have called the Rams to try and get the number 2 pick, but the Rams have not gotten back to the Saints. The Saints are targeting Glenn Dorsey, and it is possible that he will be picked by the Rams. If that happens, expect the Saints to target Ellis next. But with the 10th pick overall, they may need to move ahead of the Bengals who are have the 9th pick. It has been reported also that the Saints have also called the Falcons about trading for their 3rd pick.

It should be noted that with the deal between Long and the Dolphins being completed (5 Yr Deal), the Rams are now "On the Clock".
