He was OK. But I never got all the hype about him for me he was at best average and didn't make many plays I remember. It was just a feel good story. I do think mistakes were made about bring him back too early which in hindsight wasn't right. I don't think we will be hearing too much about him anymore. Who knows many people have been hurt and just never made it to their potential. The NFL can be a hard road.

I can see teams avoiding him because of the existing neck injury, but why would that affect the Saints who took the chance before?

Understand limiting liability after doing such a poor job managing his recovery, but this stinks. He deserved a prove-it chance from the Saints FO...

And at his average, he was easily better than the bottom half of our CB roster; at his best, he shut down some of the NFL's best receivers...

Yeah I don’t understand at all why we couldn’t bring him back. Probably just too much egg on Payton’s face.

At worst, Breaux would have been solid depth, yet Devante' Harris still has a job. I wish Delvin B a healthy season in Canada though.

When we first signed him there where other teams that wanted him. He didn't have another spinal injury so I don't get why those same teams would not clear him. I think having him on the pine is better than Harris healthy.

Breaux went back to the CFL.

Delvin Breaux is heading back to the Canadian Football League.

The former Saints cornerback signed a deal to rejoin the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who he starred for before landing with the Saints in 2015. CFL reporter Justin Dunk first reported the news that was later confirmed by a source. Breaux hopes to return to the NFL, but multiple sources say he had trouble finding a contract because of medical concerns.

Breaux had a standout rookie year for New Orleans in 2015, intercepting three passes and showing upside as a coverage cornerback. But he suffered a string of injuries that limited him to appearing in six games over the next two seasons.

If our pass rush becomes elite, Crawley could be a real solid starter. Oh and despite his light weight, he is willing to come up and tackle aggressively, though he'll never be a big hitter. If we could draft Donte Jackson late, I think he could possibly beat out Crawley or definetely be an upgrade over Swann. So many Tigers this year could help us. And many might be late picks or free agents. Will Clapp-great OL who can play center or guard. Russel Gage-probably wont be drafted is a great athlete who could be a Golden Tate type WR. Darrel Williams-probably wont be drafted is a 235+lb back with outstanding hands. Christian Locotoure is a beast DL wholl go late and led all SEC D lineman in tackles.
Good call on drafting Will Clapp.

Champ Bailey 2.0. If he could play he'd be on the team.
