Saints strike 5-yr, $26M deal with CB Lewis
Keenan Lewis - DB - New Orleans Saints
March 14, 2013 - 4:15 PM ET
Saints signed CB Keenan Lewis to a five-year, $26 million contract with $11 million guaranteed.
Lewis, 27 in May, really came on as a 16-game starter in Dick LeBeau's Steelers defense last year, recording 71 tackles and a league-high 23 pass breakups. His ball skills (one career INT) leave a lot to be desired, but 6-foot, 208-pound Lewis could be a poor man's Brandon Carr under Rob Ryan. He's big, effective in zone, physical enough to play press man, and can move around. Expect Patrick Robinson to be demoted as Lewis starts opposite Jabari Greer.
