Unless someone whispered in his ear to start shopping a new job, this is a BONEHEAD move on his part.
You MIGHT be remembered as a Center if you make the Hall of Fame. You stand an outside chance of being remembered by home city fans if you get a Ring. You stand NO CHANCE of being remembered if you move to a losing team from a consistent Super Bowl contender without being shown the door. DLP was not a liability this year. Alaska |

Re: Source: Brian de la Puente visiting the Redskins
At times this past season he certainly was a liability. He allowed inside pressure, which as we know is a killer for Brees and he had some problems lining up the guys next to him... Still, the Saints could do worse than DLP, but I'm hoping they find a way to upgrade the center position. |

He is not trying to go to a new team for any reason other than he has no team right now and needs a job. UFA means unemployed until he finds a job. |

Most delays are because of delays from the sidelines because formations, plays are called from the sidelines... That's not to say that an inexperienced Center misses a read and gets the ball carrier hammered... |
