They just said that's the way things fell. They could've easily said "we're happy with the guys we have", but they didn't.
Then again, all of their actions to this point have suggested they're very content. Or someone is.
I noticed that as well. In fact ZT has even mentioned that they'd consider other options that came along, and qualified his support of the OL by saying he recognizes that improvement is needed on the OL. Whether he meant players need to develop or the team needs new players was a bit vague. Callahan too seemed really unconvinced as he talked up the OL.
And to your latter point, a guy like Warford would probably have both detractors and supporters in our front office, any front office. The fact that the Saints gave him a 750k bonus earlier in the offseason and then cut him suggests to me that their lack of support for him was far from unanimous. Point being there are likely diverse opinions in any front office.
