I've gone on the record saying in order to improve this defense, the Saints need to sign guys like Keenan Lewis (relatively small name---big game---relatively low price). Up & coming LB Victor Butler would be an example.

I've gone on record saying the Saints don't need old stop gap possibly expensive big names like Bryant McKinnie (to fill offensive needs, especially OT, where Brees makes marginal-to-solid OT's look like All-Pro's).

I've gone on record saying the Saints need to drop-down in the draft, provided there is a willing partner, and acquire as many picks as possible, draft mostly defensive players & hope half of them stick, start, or surprise.

And yet, against my better judgement, I am on the Nnamdi bandwagon. Sure, he's older, hasn't played well recently, and could be expensive. However, just two years ago, he was arguably the west coast equal of Darrelle Revis. I'm hoping a change in scenery, a reunion with Rob Ryan & the system in which he once excelled, could return him to elite form, or at the very least, improve the Saints secondary.

There's no way to predict that Keenan Lewis will perform as advertised. It's unknown if Greer & Nnamdi can return to form either. Nothing is guaranteed. But the Saints have not had success with rookie CB's owning a corner. This time the Saints should roll the dice on a guy, that just two years ago, owned an island.

He's not worth what he was making with the Eagles. When he and his agent come to that realization, I hope the Saints can get him.
