A little more than a week ago, Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis said that he wasn’t feeling “safe or happy with the team being broken apart” and that he wanted the Saints to guarantee the final three years of his contract or add him to the list of former Saints veterans.

Lewis revisited the remarks over the weekend, saying that he wanted to be sure he was in the team’s plans because he wants to remain in New Orleans and that he’d told the team that in a meeting. Lewis said that the team told him he was in their plans, although he said his contract wasn’t part of the conversation.

The topic came up at some point, though, and Lewis got some of what he was looking for from the team. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Lewis and the Saints agreed on a reworked contract. Full details aren’t part of the report, but Lewis will get some more guaranteed money in the final three years of his deal while the Saints will gain cap room that they need in the present.

Lewis and Brandon Browner are the likely starters at cornerback for the Saints next season.
