That article posted above says;

Delvin Breaux is flying all over the country right now.

"Newly a free agent after New Orleans decided not to tender him and made the cornerback an unrestricted free agent, Breaux has already been to Denver and New England. On Saturday, he said that visits to San Francisco and Green Bay are next."

They didn't tender him though.

You're right. I was thinking of Snead. However, given Breaux wants to be in NOLA, it basically works the same way. Either he doesn't get an offer at all, or he gets an offer and presents that offer to New Orleans to see if they can match. It mostly likely be above vet minimum and below RFA tender value. Who knows, they may have already offered him vet minimum.

My understanding of why Breaux wasn't tendered was so that it wouldn't hamper recruiting, signing for another CB (which turned out to be Patrick Robinson)...

But I'd still like him back for a chance to compete opposite Lattimore and at the least compete and push the unit quality as a whole...

I'd like to have Breaux not only for a 4th CB but as a backup plan in case Crawley regresses. I love Crawley, and I think he will keep up the good play. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't seen players take giant leaps forward like Crawley has only to fall back to earth the following year. Having Breaux gives us a bit of insurance.

Another Great Point and Argument to keep Breaux...

I have that same nagging fear with Crawley. And like you I mostly think he'll continue to play well. But sometimes a guy catches lightning in a bottle for a year, and then it's gone forever. Though I will offer in his defense that he was usually in decent to good position on plays in his rookie year, just couldn't play the ball. So as long as he doesn't go back to playing scared I think he should be good and only getting better with experience. Still needs to work on not being so handsy, or at least getting smarter about it.

I didn't know this. If he wants to be home then all he has to do is sign.
