New Orleans Saints even their record to .500 in first three days of free agency

I cobbled together the snippets from all my posts over the last two days into one, big, newspaper-ready summary for Friday morning. So consider this your mid-week New Orleans Saints review:

The first days of free agency can be a roller-coaster ride for NFL teams (and for their fans). This year has certainly been no exception for the Saints.

They took some big hits on Tuesday - losing Jermon Bushrod and Chase Daniel and causing a bit of anguish among fans who don't have the stomach for the Saints' patient, measured approach to free agency. But then they rallied back on Thursday with a great addition, signing up-and-coming young cornerback Keenan Lewis away from the Pittsburgh Steelers and bringing him back to his hometown.

In other words, they pretty much did what they've done in free agency ever since the 2006 rebuilding year - searching for value instead of making a big splash early.
