great a dealer for Don Heladio. We need football players!

I like it, no overpay and based on his play last year he wants a chance at a starter spot which the Texans have open.

Was really good through week 7 last year from what I could find:

T-2. Senio Kelemete, New Orleans Saints
PASS BLOCKING EFFICIENCY: 99.3
Best game: Week 2 vs NE, 73.6 overall grade
Kelemete has now already logged snaps at left guard, right guard and right tackle this season and while he gave up two pressures on 26 pass blocking snaps at right tackle, he has surrendered just one pressure on 106 pass blocking snaps at guard this season. The former fifth-round pick might be pushed into starting duties at right guard with the injury of Larry Warford, but the Saints may not see a drop-off at the position at all. Kelemete played in the second half against Green Bay in Week 7 and did not give up a single pressure on 18 pass blocking snaps even though he went up against one of the best interior defender duos in the NFL in Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark.

Saints fans really liked him:

Asked about him to my saints fans friends. Basically their Greg mancz, but weren’t happy about losing him. I’m ok with signing as much OLine depth as possible

Not sure what happened the rest of the year

The New Orleans Saints planned for Senio Kelemete to be the backup this season.

But after playing in 61 percent of his team's snaps this year, Kelemete has been a key contributor in the Saints playoff run.

"Usually when your the backup you are just kind of ready," Kelemete said. "Usually you get like a few -- maybe two or three games. I've probably started about six or seven and that's not really common."

Kelemete has started eight games for the Saints and with starting left guard Andrus Peat being placed on injured reserve this week Kelemete will start this week. He and the rest of the offensive line helped Saints running backs Mark ingram and Alvin Kamara become the first running back teammates to each total 1,500 yards from scrimmage.

But the offensive production doesn't explain how important Kelemete has been to the team as Saints coach Sean Payton said the guards role is "understated"

"His versatility even in prior years. He's played at tackle for us. He's played at guard and center. He's a great teammate and I think a good football player too," Saints coach Sean Payton. "He's played a lot of snaps this year. Obviously will be starting at guard and I think that he's played real well for us."

Saints running back Mark Ingram said Kelemete has been a significant piece of the Saints success.

"With what they've had to endure going from left guard to right guard to right tackle or left tackle. A number of them have been in compromising situations where maybe they've been out of their comfort zone.

"So for Senio, for him, to be a wild card like that, be able to play every position on the line it says a lot about his value as a player."

For Kelemete the key to being versatile and effective as a backup starts with his preparation. He says he tries to know the playbook like Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

"When we are going over the plays and going over the scouting report, I'm just looking at everything," Kelemete said. "I'm looking at both left and right guard looking both at left tackle, right tackle, center even jumbo packages."

Kelemete recognizes the Saints have a difficult task ahead this week as they face the Minnesota Vikings in the Divisional round of the playoffs. He said the Saints will have to bring their A-game and even though Kelemete knows where he'll be playing mostly he is still preparing for anything.

"I'll hone in a little bit more at left guard but anything can happen," Kelemete said. "Hopefully, nothing happens but anything could happen so I got to be ready just in case I have to bump out to tackle."
