Only way he is a starter is due to injury, which can definitely happen. He's a backup with a ton of experience, there are worse options.

He'll be 37 years-old. You're not going to even get what you got from him a year ago. Being a second slower as a pass rusher will get you the result the Steelers got against Baltimore in the playoffs, not nearly enough pressure on Flacco. Draft and OLB no. 1 in the draft and hope a vet shakes loose between now and the start of the season. I want to remember Deebo for what he was in his prime, not what he is right now. Time to just move on, with Deebo and Troy. datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-1785016053824414282015-03-16T13:23:36.098-04:002015-03-16T13:23:36.098-04:00Helu has had fumbling issues throughout his career...Helu has had fumbling issues throughout his career.

It made it very attractive for any team wanting to trade for him. But virtually impossible for the already sadcap Saints.<br /><br />And I didn't pick up on any allusions in that #7 presser of any hints towards cap relief in that extension.

If he's traded those dollars immediately hit New Orleans cap. Trading Keenan Lewis would result in an immediate 6.9 dead cap hit for New Orleans. No restructure/new contract is going to change that. Keenan Lewis was never on the trade block.
