New Orleans Saints veteran free agent center Brian de la Puente is visiting the Washington Redskins, according to a league source.

The Redskins recently cut center Will Montgomery.

Other teams that remain strong possibilities for de la Puente include the New Orleans Saints, the Denver Broncos, the New York Giants and the New England Patriots.

The 28-year-old is a former Cal standout who has started every game for the past two seasons.

He has started 44 of 48 career games.

He has previous stints with the Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers.

The 6-foot-3, 306-pounder played last season under a $2.023 million restricted free agent tender.

BYE!! See ya!!

Yeah I like to see him gone.

He's really not as bad as this forum makes him out to be in my opinion. He's not a great center or anything but he's not a liability. Just solid, which is fine.

We could bring back in Goodwin for cheap if he wants to finish here and retire a Saint.

Yeah, I wish we had someone a little more proven to set to take his place before he leaves but I guess the business doesn't work like that.

Goodwin is done. Washed up. He'd be a downgrade. I'm good with Lelito, who filled in very well at guard a couple times last year, or a rookie. I wouldn't even mind going center in the 3rd round if it meant we got the best one available.

It's not us that got him bowled over by good defenses. He's an average center in front of a HOF QB.

I agree, I don't think he's the POS that people here are making him out to be. He was steady and solid...no major f'ups that I recall.

Not the best, but certainly not bad.
