Keenan Lewis didn't have a pick last year, but no CB had more than his 16 PDs in 2012. Allowed only 52.7% completion %, he can cover

Something that Robinson can't do

Not arguing that point, but, there was a lot of stink to go around on that defense.

By far? I don't know about that.

Sedrick Ellis says hello.

There was equal stink going around last year... it's a little hard to pinpoint which poop smelled worse.

Whoa: Tuck Rule is changing. If the passer loses control going forward it's still INC. If he loses ball while tucking, it's a fumble.

He was the worst. That is my opinion, you don't have to agree.

That's fine. I don't... but I certainly can see why you feel that way.

The tuck rule was one of the lamest rules I've ever seen. It's a friggin' fumble.

CB Keenan Lewis will sign a five-year, $26 million, including $11 million guaranteed, with the Saints, a source says.

Sean Jensen ‏@seankjensen

Keenan Lewis is going home, and he turned down a bigger offer from another undisclosed team, source says. Love homecoming stories!

Backloaded would be my guess

I disagree I think Greer was worse and Roman Harper was the worse player even though all of them stunk it up horribly

I hope pat robinson goes to the bench and we go with Keenan lewis and greer (unless we sign asomugha) on the outside and corey white at nickel

How is this an upgrade exactly Yea one nice season last year but what else? Im on the fence with this one

You are in the minority on that one, my friend

Re: CB Keenan Lewis a Saint (page 6 update)
 
I actually share the skepticism. However, Greer isn't a spring chicken anymore and it's actually better to look at it with a positive outlook. Hopefully he becomes our next Greer. Last year was certainly encouraging and a step in the right direction. Some develop slower than others.

Re: CB Keenan Lewis a Saint (page 6 update)
 
Welcome home Keenan!! Great job Loomis! I've read some comments already from Steelers fans that say we got a great player and they're sad to see him go. I can see this guy coming in and instantly taking P Rob's spot.

Keenan Lewis 5-yr deal with the #Saints worth $26.3M with $10. 5M in guarantees, $6M signing bonus. He will have a base in'13 of $1M


Mickey is a genius......1mil base salary....might still has enough money left over to make 1 more move....

OK Im fine with that..but there was a reason why patrick robinson was checking the number one WR instead of greer after the he got TORCHED in the FALCOONS game I hope they get back to a couple years ago but this pass season I think Greer Played worse down the stretch

Robinson was always put on the faster receiver because he's faster than Greer. I know in the case of the Falcons both receivers are fast so that's that. Greer has always done a terrific job of shutting down so many of the WR's he covers.

Would like to see us get another corner for the other side personally. But an upgrade to me nonetheless.

Meanwhile....

#1 receiver does not mean fastest receiver ie. Marques Colston

From WalterFootball.com:

Quote:

Saints sign CB Keenan Lewis (5 years, $26M; $11M guaranteed): A Grade
Keenan Lewis was the second-best cornerback still available in free agency. He's better than both Sean Smith and Cary Williams, yet he's slated to make less per year than both of them. This is not because teams didn't view Lewis as an inferior cornerback; he simply took a discount to play with the Saints. According to the Chicago Sun-Times' Sean Jensen, another team offered Lewis a much larger contract.

This is obviously an awesome acquisition for the Saints. They're filling their huge corner need with a very talented player at a very reasonable price.

papz 03-14-2013 04:06 PM

Re: CB Keenan Lewis a Saint (page 6 update)
 
Awesome value. I love the part where he took a discount to be here. You got to love the players that genuinely wants to be here.

Re: CB Keenan Lewis a Saint (page 6 update)
 
Welcome home. Good young rising player our secondary just got better. I like the fact that this is a long term fix. And not a player on the downside of his career. YEEAAAH

ChrisXVI 03-14-2013 04:11 PM

Re: CB Keenan Lewis a Saint (page 6 update)
 
I'm freaking thrilled!! He's going to make an instant impact and his 2013 salary is so small that we still have plenty of cap space available!

papz 03-14-2013 04:11 PM

Re: CB Keenan Lewis a Saint (page 6 update)
 
And if by chance it isn't a long term fix, there isn't much risk in the way the deal is constructed. Added bonus.

The flat market has done us well. Hopefully we can pouch another one soon. Hey Conner Barwin, I'm pointing at you!
