Keenan Lewis demands Saints guarantee contract

Not much love for our # 1 corner here.
He's emotional and pissed we are getting rid of guys... a lot of us are pissed about losing PT and Lofton. Breesus said last year he was disappointed to lose Sproles and Moore. So what?
Cut the guy some slack- he shot off comments without thinking and he's already recanted

i fully understand his emotions. many voiced concern last year and to watch as the same type of moves being made again this year has me concern to the point i say; load the offense and lets sets some records and accept whatever the defense gives us.

True but when we released Devery Henderson, PT or Lance Moore, Brees didn't go off in a tantrum and throw his toys out the pram saying "pay me or release me"

If it were truly about the players, he would have just threw a ***** fit and asked to be traded or cut... not more money.

No, but Brees got his. But that's been covered in about 20 threads, so no need to rehash
Like I said, emotional guy, flew off the handle, came back and asked for a do-over.
Of course, looking at the next two years of his deal, the writings on the wall- his base more than doubles next year

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?
