With the Saints, it was going to be win the job or get cut, no in between. That is far from security.

With the Bears they told him straight up he's guaranteed to be the back up with a really high probability of starting next year with Garza gone.

So you take a one year deal with no guarantee you even play that year and then lose out on other opportunities because they are filled not just this year but in future years(may be out of the league), or take a guaranteed one year with a high potential of getting a much larger pay day next year.

Bears sounds far more secure to me.

Says who? If we draft a Center, who wins out the starting job, and DLP has a better camp than Lelito, why would we cut DLP, especially on a minimum deal? I agree that there is a chance he could be cut if he signs with us (beat out by both a rookie, and Lelito), but I don't how you are so certain it is either start or cut for DLP.

Both situations are a risk, I just think with the Saints you have the chance to compete for a starting job and retest the market next year, getting the contract that he was expected to get this year. With the Bears, you're almost solidifying yourself for another minimum deal next year. Even if did get cut with us, there's always a chance another team needs a Center around the time of Training Camp, and he would get the same minimum deal. Just my .02.
