Haven't we taken a player from a rival NFCS team every single off-season since Gman has been here? Can think DeCoud, Harper... sure I'm missing some names. Seems like its as much about getting eyes on their schemes as it is getting snaps.

Soliai and Gradkowski this year

Probably the bucs

Please, no more Saints rejects.  I'm not one of the crowd that thinks we are hurting in the secondary, even with Worley getting picked on a bit.   I do think we need some DE depth infusion but the secondary doesn't worry me in the least.

Considering our inexperience at CB, kicking the tires on Lewis would be a smart, due diligence type of thing to do. 

[CoastalCat]

The obvious answer would be that he's still talking with the Saints.

After Worley poo the bed against another rookie this makes sense. Having a veteran CB to fall back on could be a big help. When healthy Lewis was actually a decent corner.

[usmcpanthers]

So if he signs, doe that mean the this guy got cut we should sign him huddle threads worked? lol

Lewis is coming off a leg injury that de-railed his 2015 season (6 games played with 0 starts), with a hip surgery thrown in for good measure in January 2016. He came off the PUP, practiced once, then didn't practice again before he was released. Supposedly the problem was an unspecified side torso problem. Reading the reports out of Taintland, Lewis didn't want to go on IR and have to sit out 8 games before returning from IR. Lewis thinks he'll be ready by the opener or very close to it

However, his last good season was 2013 (4 INTs, 52 tackles), after signing a 5 year $26 million deal with his hometown team. Lewis attended high school in New Orleans. 2014 saw a drop in stats (2 INTs, 41 tackles), and 2015 was a bust.

Lots of buyer beware with this one. Listed as 6'1" 208, but also 30 years old and a very recent injury history. I'd rather lure Tillman out of retirement, although I did like his cameo in Sharknado 4

After that abysmal performance by Worley, this would not shock me.  

Why is Bene or even McclainMcClain not an option to start aside from Bradberry

[csx]

It's probably the Saints.

[Devil Doc]

To be honest, i would rather bring back Peanut if we were going to bolster the ranks. I think that G-man shouldnt have let him go.

yeah he was great in the playoffs wasn't he

He didn't do that bad. People are just overreacting pansies. This is the same forum advocating for DA to start over Newton in 2014. Let that sink in.

Heck, one preseason game in a rookie season is enough to know all there is to know about a guy, right?

I remember years ago watching this young tackle for the Cowboys get absolutely eaten alive by a Packers defensive end. It was positively embarrassing. The guy he was going against even had an injured arm, but even one-handed he still threw this kid around like a rag doll.

The Cowboys probably should have just listened to the fans and cut that guy on the spot, but instead they kept him around for awhile. Not sure what in the world they were thinking.

I think his name was Larry Allen.
