I'm more than likely to believe Keenan for the simple fact that when he was a Free Agent he took less money to come home than he could have gotten by staying in Pittsburgh or going elsewhere. This doesn't look good. Hopefully it all works out.

As I posted elsewhere there were only two ways to keep Lewis on the roster:

1. On the active 53
2. IR and return later in the season.

Option 2 likely went out the window when Rankins broke his leg. Option #1 is tough going when DBs such as Crawley and Harris have the ability to both play on the defense and play special teams.

Honestly, I believe the Saints did Lewis a favor. Instead of spending another whole year on IR, Lewis can get healthy, then make a workable deal to play the remainder of this season.
