Keenan Lewis Released

Was it chemistry with new DC? Was it his injury(s) and slow recovery? Was it the fact that he's 30 and it's unknown if he'll ever be close to 100% again?
I'd say Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Next!

Sounds like he's finally breaking down and the Saints know it.

With so many great young prospects waiting their turn it really makes sense.

Much respect for Westbank. He gave it his all for us.

I too was surprised. However when you think about the injuries and lack of playing time lately along with him not getting along with Allen, it makes sense.

Well, another screwup by Loomis. Give him more guaranteed money and cut him within the year.

As I just referred to in my previous post, this is by no means a screw up by Loomis. You cannot factor an injury into the evaluation. It had nothing to do with the deal. Injuries are simply a part of the game. You can hate on Loomis all you want, but this isn't on him at all.

I never liked the deal in the first place. Granted, he was the best CB we had but he went public to get a new deal. He should of been forced to play out what he had or sent packing. Just my opinion of course but I hate players crying about contracts to the public. If I ran to my boss I would be running to the unemployment line within a week.

No one thought it was bad deal at the time

I still don't think it was a bad deal. Nobody can anticipate an injury.

I didn't, that's true. He had played hurt for us and gave us his all. Heart is not an issue with him, but eating more dead money is getting old

We only have $1,305,000 in dead money left on the books after this season. I think we can absorb a little hit, especially given the fact that the cap will increase again next season by about twice what the cap hit will total.

Cap is no longer an issue with the Saints. I know that's difficult for some to realize with all the misinformation that has been spread by talking heads that know less about the cap than they know about humility.
