Is Lewis an upgrade over what we have?

You know, I always accept what the front office does during these free agency periods. I accepted the James Harrison, Santonio Holmes, and Joey porter releases, but the loss of Lewis just to me is one of the stupidest things we've done in a long time. Such a great up and comer that we molded into a nice future superstar in Dick's defense and to end it like this.... WOW is all I can say. To me, we are officially in the "We suck" rebuilding mode. Gay seems like a great pickup now. Such a waste of a future star that would be able to take ike's spot when he leaves.

Thank you. I had to register as soon as I saw the tweet about him almost signed by the saints. I understand its his hometown but man.... He looked really good this past year and with other glaring needs we need to fill... we just opened up another one. I also understand other teams seem to have it worse at the moment, but If were going to build from the draft and ignore much of free agency, you need to keep what you build.
