New Deal for Keenan Lewis

I hate how this situation was handled. Loomis has now shown players that if you don't like what they are doing or your contract, you can go cry on social media and get what you want

No... Valuable employees get a little leeway. That's just life. Others who are replaceable will be replaced if they want to try this tactic. It's the same in any business.

His last name isn't Brees so he should of kept his mouth shut. They have shown now that they tolerate players bad mouthing the organization on social media.

Everybody should at least get one chance. I'm sure they had a little meeting and it will not happen again. If Sean can let it go,so should we. Even though he didn't handle it the right way,at least he's shown some heart and isn't some apathetic,lazy player like some of the ones we got rid of. Believe me, after all this,there won't be a single player on that team that will be ballsy enought to test Sean.

I hope there is just to see how Payton reacts, now if they can just find a way to get rid of Gallette and I think all the "twitter whores" will be gone (Graham, Stills)

You're allowed to say what you want. Although I disagree, I'm all for your right to say it. I don't see how anyone gives up their rights to free speech just because they're part of the NFL.

Because they are part of a team, if your labeled a "leader" you have to act like it .... part of the deal of being part of the NFL

Whoa there. This isn't a matter of free speech. It's not like he was going to go to jail over it. The fact is that there is a right way to handle things and a wrong way. He handled it wrong. Not just because he used social media to complain, but his complaints were off base to begin with. We're a team that needed to get better in a lot of areas and didn't have any cap space. That means big moves needed to be made. And yet, he took it personal somehow.

there are also consequences. They have contracts, and I am quite sure there are clauses in there that prevent this sort of thing. There are clauses that prevent them from riding motorcycles etc. You'd be surprised what's in there.
