Drew Brees

Next year would be the most advantageous time for Drew to restructure. Everyone would benefit more next year.

WDSU (NBC New Orleans) announced during a commercial break a lead-in to the same story...Fox8 (Benson Station) has said anything yet (Watching Sleepy Hollow)...

He needs a #1 WR to throw to. I blame his lack of arm for not having the deep ball, but then I remember when we had Morgan you would see 50yd bombs regularly. It just seemed like none of our WRs or TEs could get any separation this year.

If he restructured and we cut Smith we would have 11 mil in cap room.

I put my trust in Loomis when it comes to the business side of the team. He has proven to be a master, I'll let him work and not worry about it

Brees now knows how much his big contract effected the team financially. He was reminded of it every time he picked himself up off the turf.
I think if it wasnt for the fact he was running for his life most of the season this may have been his best year yet. Its hard to find open recievers when someone is constantly in his face. A good run game would help him out as well and extend the few years he has left to play in the NFL.
He can either Work two more years with his current salary and probably get hurt enough foor him to have to retire or he can work 3,,4, or 5 more years with a little less.

I would if I were him.

He's a finalist for the Fedex Air Player of the Year. Probably of the Galaxy. And he had a billion yards this season. A few more INTs than normal and was harassed like he was a puddle of water and the defenders were dry noodles.

He doesn't owe the team any money.

People tend to forget that it balances out since he was underpaid the entire life of his first Saints contract.

Injustices should only be addressed when someone perceives they are on the receiving end. :/
