Delvin Breaux

Contract details just released. Great work guys!

Breaux bought in on the shot to start immediately as CB#2.

With this savings at CB (and assuming he wins the job), we could spend money to upgrade OL and front seven! (maybe)

Breaux's contract includes the league minimum base salary in each of the three years, according to the NFLPA. His base salary is $435,000 in 2015, $525,000 in 2016 and $615,000 in 2017.

A portion of his 2015 salary -- $138,000, according to a league source -- is guaranteed even if he's released by the team.

Breaux, who joined the Saints after two years in the Canadian Football League, also received a $12,000 signing bonus.

Very little risk and potentially huge reward... This could end up being a major steal!

Agreed however I will have the 'wait and see' mindset with Delvin. I still see the Big Lebowski/Dennis Allen putting their collective heads together this off season & try to acquire a vet FA corner back. Frederick showed flashes, Dixon will greatly improve with Allen back, PRob is ... well PRob and Corey White is a nickle at best.

We need depth at this position.

Well you did just name 4 backup CBs (should we keep all).

Robinson is the only free agent. I'm not sure a change of scenery will help him. Personally I like the guy - he's come back from injury and being benched. The players support him 100% and I hope that somehow he stays with us and develops into a solid defender.

White has a dead cap of $44k. He fell off last year but so did everyone else.

Agree we need another CB through FA.

I'd give Breaux a season to learn.

How funny would it be if one day SJB and Delvin Breaux are our starting CBs?
