Keenan Lewis rips Saints' Snead, Thomas in Instagram rant

Former New Orleans Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis blasted former teammates Willie Snead and Michael Thomas during a rant on Instagram Live on Monday.

Lewis, who was cut by the Saints in August 2016, took particular issue to a perceived slight from Snead, and ripped into the wide receiver.

"Willie Snead had the nerve to call me a bum," Lewis said. "N---- had the nerve to call me a bum on the internet. If you feel like I'm a bum, first of all, it's football. You can say what y'all want. If you feel like I'm a bum, put on your cleats. We can meet at whatever park you want and we can bet whatever you want to bet."

"My intention never was to get on Mike Thomas or Brandin Cooks," he said. "Willie Snead made a comment about me, calling me a bum. Hold on, homie. You said bum? Make sure you know what a bum is before you use the f---ing word, 'bum'.

"As we can recall, you got cut by several teams."

Snead responded to Lewis' story in live time, commenting with three crying emojis "More #FakeNews bruh."

During the video session, Lewis purportedly called Thomas and recorded him without his permission, blasting the wideout.

Thomas, however, denied his involvement in the story.

Lewis also presented a passionate defense of fellow Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks. Cooks has been rumored in trade talks, with the Saints rejecting an offer from the New England Patriots that included a 2017 first-round pick.

"For a lot of people to downplay Brandin Cooks, that s--- ain't cool," Lewis said. "I rock with Brandin Cooks, that's why I'll always be 100, no matter what, no matter what none of y'all say on here, Brandin Cooks (is) my dude. I love homie to the fullest, the same way I love them dudes too."

Lewis remains unsigned and after the emergence of this video, it appears unlikely he'll receive a new contract this summer.
