He also pissed-off Philly when he backed out of a deal to sign with the Browns.

Important to note that Bently was not very enthused about being drafted by the Saints.

We also had that little issue called Katrina, and 8 home games away from the dome. Rumors about relocating to San Antonio were everywhere, and fans were pissed off...

I'm sure he wasn't the only player that wanted out.

He stated he didn't like being drafted by New Orleans and Cleveland is his home town, he wanted to go home.
Bentley wanted out before Katrina

The Saints are not in negotiations with Pro Bowl C LeCharles Bentley, who has been absent from the Saints' workout regime all offseason. GM Mickey Loomis has put down an edict that he will not negotiate with players who are not reporting to Saints headquarters for voluntary workouts.
