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

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

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!

Eagles signed CB Cary Williams, formerly of the Ravens, to a three-year, $17 million contract.

While Williams was a starter on the Super Bowl champion Ravens and posted four interceptions along with 17 pass deflections, he struggled mightily while under the microscope. During the regular season, opponents threw for 1,000 yards, six touchdowns, and a 91.6 quarterback rating while targeting Williams.

I'm liking our deal more and more.

Can't go wrong with the DB that led the league in pass breakups to be fair
He's a big, tall, physical corner and thats exactly what we needed

Reportedly Rob Ryan is still trying to get asomugha to come here after signing keenan lewis - NFL.com

RaginCajun83 · 03-14-2013, 04:16 PM

Can't land Asomugha, he signed with 49ers

lee909 · 03-14-2013, 04:24 PM

Hopefully this will be a good long term signing.

Im not keen on singling out players when the whole defense had problems.You live and die as a unit.Everyone starts on a fresh page next year.
Well everyone except Ellis who can....

Asked my friend who is a Steelers fan what he thinks of the move and he said it is a great move. Was very high on him.

five-year, $26 million, including $11 million guaranteed?

not that bad can not wait for details.

Chargers sign CB Derek Cox (4 years, $20M; $10.25M guaranteed)

So the two got basically the same cash but Lewis does not have the injury history but then again does not have the hands that Cox has. Lewis is a much better tackler and might be the better press cover man.

So up and coming CB that finally caught on and started to improve his game big time. comes home to roost

i like the risk factor here
