Kristian@wwl.com - Let’s get you caught up on the latest on the Saints in free agency:
Saints free agent linebacker Jonathan Casillas agreed to a four-year deal with Tampa. Casillas came to the Black and Gold as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2009. This is not a significant loss, as Casillas flashed potential but was banged up in his time with New Orleans. They can find another un-drafted free agent to replace him.
Free agent cornerback Keenan Lewis visited with the Saints on Wednesday. On Thursday the team will visit with another free agent defensive back, Derek Cox. Both are four-year veterans with plenty of upside. Lewis prepped at O.P Walker High School and is New Orleans Native.
My source tells me the Saints really like Lewis. Cox had four interceptions last season with Jacksonville.
