Drafted by KC when Crennel was the DC, I think.https://mobile.twitter.com/klewis23/status/447109911512481792?screen_name=klewis23

The Chiefs aren't expected to re-sign safety Kendrick Lewis, reports ESPN.com. Lewis "had a big hand" in the secondary giving up "one long pass play after another last season," the report said.
Lewis had 56 tackles and an interception in 2013.
And that includes a terrible 3 game stretch to end the season. Remember the bomb from Luck to TY in the playoffs, yea Lewis was responsible for that lol....hopefully Romeo gets him playing like he was in 2010 as a rookie with Romeo as his DCLewis was rated 52nd/85 Safetys overall in 2013 (>25% snaps) by PFF.
That would be ahead of Swearing and Keo and just behind Manning. (And ahead of Quintin Demps, KC)
This is what I was thinking. I would not be surprised.With this signing. I would not be surprised if we cut Manning.
Edit
Since Manning is still not 100% healthy, and has a decent sized contract.
I sure hope not, Manning is one of our few solid starts left.With this signing. I would not be surprised if we cut Manning.

Agreed! If anyone, Pleasant or Keo should be worried.I sure hope not, Manning is one of our few solid starts left.
I really thought they'd get rid of Manning, but so far he's still with us so maybe they are going to retain him. But as far as Keo goes, his days might be numbered. But then I might get fooled and they keep Keo and release Manning,If he keeps keo off the field I'm all for it. Please don't cut manning though.
I really doubt it. Without him, you're looking at an epically bad defense. He's off the books after this year anyway.I think Manning might get cut...
What would be the difference, I think the Texans D has played more without Manning than with due to injuries.I really doubt it. Without him, you're looking at an epically bad defense. He's off the books after this year anyway.
Would there be any difference if he were a June 1st cut or not? This is the last year of his deal.What would be the difference, I think the Texans D has played more without Manning than with due to injuries.
This may be a June 1st cut
I don't think Lewis is coming here to accept the role of a back up and I don't thing dj is going anywhere.I really doubt it. Without him, you're looking at an epically bad defense. He's off the books after this year anyway.
Keo goes back to his role as a st playerSmall upgrade at S depth. He's the third best Safety on this roster.
Hopefully this spells the end for Keo.
I really don't see the point in doing a June 1st cut to a guy who has one year left on his deal.What would be the difference, I think the Texans D has played more without Manning than with due to injuries.

Agreed, Manning isn't "all that," but I would have to believe that he is better than Lewis at FS. Unless we plan on using the money Manning saves us this year, there's no point in cutting him.I don't think Lewis is coming here to accept the role of a back up and I don't thing dj is going anywhere.
I think we save 4 mil this year if we cut manning.
This is a crennel guy. He's young. Probably will be competing with a rookie for starting FS spot.
Manning was injured, older and he wasn't even all that when he was playing.
Just looked and cutting Manning would save $4.5 million. Couldn't have gotten Byrd with that, but might get Thomas DeCoud.Agreed, Manning isn't "all that," but I would have to believe that he is better than Lewis at FS.

Ehhhh, I don't know how worth it that would be, obviously depending on the contract. I don't expect to be competitive next year, so we are looking at a guy that is 30 when we start the 2015 season. I'm not against that move though.Just looked and cutting Manning would save $4.5 million. Couldn't have gotten Byrd with that, but might get Thomas DeCoud.
Definitely Keo.Agreed! If anyone, Pleasant or Keo should be worried.
I expect the Texans to be competitive next in 2014. The team has talent. Not at every position, but what team does?Ehhhh, I don't know how worth it that would be, obviously depending on the contract.

Someone like Quin would be well worth it though. Oh yeah, we let the Lions do that deal.
I sure hope so. We really need to nail this draft, and the rookies that were injured last season need to show out.I expect the Texans to be competitive next in 2014. The team has talent. Not at every position, but what team does?
IMO, the coaching changes will help this team overacheive in 2014.

Free agent safety Kendrick Lewis gets a one-year contract from the Texans worth $795,000 which includes $100,000 guaranteed.
Qb play between 2012 and now is to drastic. Defense is learning its idenity and the ol is a work in progress. We have talent sure, but no promises anywhere.I expect the Texans to be competitive next in 2014. The team has talent. Not at every position, but what team does?

Well, there goes the cap!!!!!
Makes it more likely Manning goes nowhere.
yeah that sounds like a depth move rather than a position change...Well, there goes the cap!!!!!

Depth and, hopefully, familiarity with Crennel's defense which few (none?) of the holdovers from Wade's bunch currently have.yeah that sounds like a depth move rather than a position change...
We already have one and maybe 2 if Swearinger cant improve!Every team has a sorry ass safety. We just signed someone else. On the bright side, someone signed Ed Reed so it balances out.
I hope not, and dont think he will. I think he has something left.I think Manning might get cut...
I think people are forgetting that he was a significant contributor for us. He wasn't a pro bowl player by any means, but he's the best safety on our roster.I hope not, and dont think he will. I think he has something left.
