He hasn't asked for more though he wants the contract guaranteed so he knows he is staying and not getting dealt. If he wanted out he would be asking for that just a trade or release. he would make at leat 8ml a year on the open market with these deals

It's one in the same. Players don't often finish out their contracts which is why all the guaranteed money is typically received early in the contract. Guaranteeing his contract is essentially asking for the money he was never going to get.

Money doesn't change people, it just highlights more clearly who they already are.

Welcome to South New England (in theory, at least)...

Only the QB is untouchable (at least for a while)

So if we give Lewis more guaranteed money, how does it help our run blocking?

Saint in Aus · 03-10-2015, 06:40 PM

I hope he stays. If he leaves it is just another big hole we have to fill.

papz · 03-10-2015, 06:42 PM

I see no reason to let him go though. At 2.5 million this year, he's a bargain. The only way he leaves is if someone gives us a really good offer for him.

I take my kick rocks statement back. He's stuck like chuck and he's just going to have to deal with it.

We really need to keep him, but I still think it's not too swift to be raising hell while a housecleaning is going on.

Give the changes a chance - not like the past 3 years of D have instilled fear in the rest of the NFL

Giving Lewis more money improves our run blocking by making us light in the pocket. That in turn makes us faster on the blocks.

Does anyone remember when he got his concussion and was begging to get back in the game? He's an emotional man and he's passionate.

Sometimes you shouldn't say what your thinking.........or put it on social media. He is already back tracking on his statement. He's the best corner we've got by far.

I think he's a great Saint and I'm not changing my opinion of him because of one tweet. He's passionate and I think we could use more of that.
