The New Orleans Saints balked at an easy opportunity to bring back cornerback Delvin Breaux for 2018.
The Saints don't plan to offer Breaux a tender as a restricted free agent, according to a league source, and although the team hasn't ruled out bringing him back, the 28-year-old is likely to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins Wednesday at 3 p.m.
Breaux, who prepped at McDonogh 35, was a bright spot for an otherwise poor defense in 2015, but in the past two years, injuries derailed his chances to match that performance.
