You missing the point, I am simply saying he is not our best corner. Yes he can provide that veteran leadership but I don't expect him to walk in and be our #1, #2, or even #3 corner

Totally 100% false.

Reminds me of Champ Bailey signing.

Peyton looking to make headlines, get somebody's attention!!!!!
If some how makes opening day roster, he won't finish many games
w/ new rules for ejection after 2 infractions.

Let's not forget that Swann hasn't practiced in a while. I don't remember if his injury was ever clarified but that's Lewis and Swann who are both MIA.

Triplett gives the ESPN perspective...

I hate this signing. My only question is, where is Andre Johnson when you need him?

In what way
He has nothing left
You dont like him

If he has anything left i like it. But then i believe you need a few players with that nasty side to them. Same reason i wanted Burfict and Setreal Henderson as a late round/UDFA a few years back

I love this signing, yeah he is a bit old now, but a very nice addition to the team! If Lewis doesn't have to miss extended time, this pretty much can make the Saints in excellent shape at CB.

Good at disrupting WR off the line of scrimmage. Mean little man that don't back down. Pure bad attitude on the field. I love this signing, I hope he has another year left in the tank.

Good backup for sure!
