Keenan Lewis Off To The "Big Easy;" Warren Re-Signed




Corner Keenan Lewis Signs With The Saints


Late today, word came down from the Steelers that Corner Keenan Lewis signed with New Orleans for a reported $26.3 million including a $10.5 million signing bonus.

Lewis, a New Orleans native, was a third round draft pick in 2009. At 26, the Saints are getting a player in the prime of his career.

This makes Lewis the fifth  Steelers starter who will not be returning for the 2013 season with the loss of Harrison, Colon (released), Mendenhall and Wallace.

Yesterday, the Steelers re-signed long snapper Greg Warren to a one-year contract. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Warren has played 48 consecutive regular-season games for the Steelers. He was an undrafted rookie out of North Carolina in 2005.
