Article: Love from LeCharles Bentley

I remember him differently- I seem to remember that he was one of the first to leave when things looked bad, real bad, for us:

Bentley started in 13 games and earned a spot in the 2003 Pro Bowl.

In the 2004 season he moved back to his original center position and started in all 16 games, he went on to be voted as an alternate to the 2004 Pro Bowl at that position.

Bentley started 14 games at center in 2005 and was voted to the Pro Bowl again. He left the Saints saying he would rather sit out the season than play with them again.

After backing out of an unofficial agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles, Bentley signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2006, and was regarded by ESPN as the top-rated free agent.

I agree with you ScottF. Bentley was a good player when he was here, but he took some jabs at us on his way out the door. I wanted him to be a Saint because he was a damn good center, but he definitely wasn't a Saint at heart.
