Did the Saints get duped by Lewis? Is there more to the story of his release?
After playing out his rookie contract for the Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL cornerback Keenan Lewis signed with his hometown team, the New Orleans Saints, before the 2013 season. The pairing began almost like a fairytale. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan helped lead the Saints defense to one of the greatest performance turnarounds in NFL history. Perhaps no one on the 2013 Saints defense had a greater impact than Lewis, who enjoyed a fantastic first year in the black and gold.
