I was under the impression that they'll work with pads on today when the signed veterans join the practices? Not sure though...
Anyway, as for Tennant, his reps aren't going to go down with the introduction of the vets like with most other less experienced players since he is the No 1 center on the roster. And, furthermore, It'll surely help him to go against the "big dogs" not that SR isn't a whale of a man.

As a further side note from the TP comments section,
Quote:
Saints would love for Tennant to take the job, and undrafted rookie Ryan Taylor take the backup C/G job. Both of those salaries together would be less than 1 mil. It would free up much needed cap room to go after other bargain veterans and help us to have the money to keep Brees, Nicks, Colston and Porter, who are all in contract years.

Saving money is never a bad thing, right? |
