The New Orleans Saints announced decisions on three restricted free agents as the league's new year began at 4 p.m. eastern time on Wednesday. As reported by multiple sources, the team declined to make offers to wideout Tommylee Lewis and defensive back Rickey Jefferson, making them unrestricted free agents. The Saints did offer the lowest restricted tender to cornerback Ken Crawley however, 1-yr. at approximately 2 million dollars.
The 26-yr. old Crawley entered the league with New Orleans in 2016 as an undrafted free agent out of Colorado.
