The New Orleans Saints made three trades in the first week of the new NFL year, including dealing their best offensive weapon, but general manager Mickey Loomis on Monday shot down speculation that they are going to trade their quarterback.

“Anybody who thinks we’re trading Drew Brees, that’s just not true,” Loomis told USA Today at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix.

The Saints traded tight end Jimmy Graham to the Seattle Seahawks on March 10, netting center Max Unger and Seattle’s first-round pick this year while also flipping a fourth-rounder to the Seahawks.

The Saints also traded guard Ben Grubbs to Kansas City and wide receiver Kenny Stills to Miami, and they reportedly shopped linebacker Curtis Lofton before cutting him.

Brees, 36, did not have his best year in 2014, when he threw 17 interceptions, but he still completed 69.2 percent of his passes for 4,952 yards and 33 touchdowns.

The Saints faced major salary cap issues heading into March, and many of their moves — including cutting running back Pierre Thomas and redoing deals for wide receiver Marques Colston and others — were made in an effort to slice more than $22 million off their cap number.

Loomis denied the Saints were in dire straits.

“We’re not in cap jail,” he told USA Today. “That’s a myth since it’s always a year-to-year deal.”
