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.

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.

DLP was a weakness that you would have to have played OL to understand. His short comings stressed positions around him including but not limited to QB.

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.

You didn't need to be a former OL to see him getting blown off the line of scrimmage far too frequently. I just hope we are able to find a replacement that is an improvement.

When you see Drew getting delay of game penalties because he is identifying the Mike in addition to calling out audibles to his WR and RBs, that is the Cs job. Center controls the OL.

If a Center is playing at that level, he generally knows what he's doing...

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...

Huddle calls are made from the sidelines. Post break, pre snap are called at the line.

In regards to who "knows" what they are doing, I'll take a risk here and side with Brees and Payton over a center that is going to his 8th team IF he is picked up.
