I wonder what that means for him long-term? Crawley and Lattimore will have the top 2 corner-back spots locked down next year...

Is his career over with? Even other injuries have kept him in the tub and on the spin bike.

Re: Saints announce Delvin Breaux will not play this season
 
so anyone else on IR that we can bring back?
Strief week 14 and ...

Breaux might be done here: six games in two seasons. The plus side is that he is cheap, very cheap

I have a feeling that's the last we'll see of him in the black and gold. I think he's due to hit free agency next year and I'd rather they hang onto PJ as the third corner. It was fun while it lasted and I'll root for him to do well wherever he goes. Super cool story, but too much injury risk and he's already 27 or 28. See ya DB.

Crap and I think your right frydaddy. Then again the string of injuries might make him a cheaper signing.

At least now he can heal up right

John Greco resigned?

So sad to hear this news. Most don't know the Delvin broke his back in several places in high school after receiving an scholarship to LSU which LSU honored. He played in Arena and CFL before coming to the Saints.

He is a gritty player whose career has been poisoned by injuries. His last injury, a misdiagnosed broken fibula doctors said was only a fracture, got team doctors fired.

I think the Saints will give him every opportunity to heal and return, but this latest fracture near the plate they put in for his broken leg may require revision surgery. Let's pray and hope he can return. He's a fighter.

Isn't he a restricted FA? If so, I believe he will be tendered a 1st rd but probably traded for a 2nd & 5th

re-sign or resign?

Says we waved him.
Apparently we're shifting personnel around to shuttle in defenders based on weekly match ups. Worked well last week against the Bucs bringing in more LB and deactivating Safety Bush.

I wonder if that's what this move is?

I thought it was his neck and he was lucky to be alive

no corresponding move needed as DB was never activated

we cut John Greco to sign what his name at DT and now we have a slot open due to IR, will the saints bring him back?

I hope so. Love having a solid vet that has played multiple positions on the OL to help protect Drew.

Damn. What a gut punch. Big fan of this kids resolve. He’s been through hell. Several times. Speedy recovery Breaux.

Delvin Broke...

Maybe its time to cut bait, or give him another year?

Obviously contract ramifications will decide.

He won’t be in a Saints uniform again...

Get well. Will see you get back.

Well, I feel real bad for Del, but there's no way in hell you don't keep him as a RFA...

Too much there and invested to move on...

It probably was. It was like c4, c5, c6.... I'm not doctor. All I know is spinal injury is difficult to overcome.

It was definitely the neck. I work with the doctor who did his surgery. He saved his life. Statistically, he was probably supposed to die.

That's why I think the dude is a hero. He has more determination in his pinky finger than I'd ever have. Not only that, he came back and he's good.

Glad to see he's on IR. I think the Saints will watch his progress and see if he can return for 2018.

What a bonus he will be next season if he's healthy.

with Delvin Breaux back next year and healthy we should have a strong group of corners.

Probably the deepest, best group in the NFL...

Now about that interior offensive line...

Hate to see it happen if this is "it" for him in the black and gold, but keep in mind, he's already accomplished more than most people and overcome unbelievable odds just to get as far as he did in life. He is a really inspiring story, and that is something that will always set him apart and puts him into a really rare group of players who have came back from such adversity and overcame so many obstacles in their path to make it in the NFL through sheer determination and willpower and dedication. Quite an inspiring guy.
