Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Just wondering what you guys think? Will we trade him?

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

No, he will end his career with the Saints.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

The only way the Saints would trade Brees is if they could get Brady, Rodgers, Luck or Wilson, and we know that isn't going to happen.

Brees is only as good as the offensive line. If he is protected he is as good as it gets. When he isn't you get what happened today.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Benson won't let it happen...

But, if Buffalo called and wanted Rob Ryan and Drew Brees?!?

...now that would be an interesting conversation at Saints headquarters...

Rob Roy Ryan can hold his head as high as the head coach...

While that was a rookie-led offense that beat Ryan's defense,

it wasn't nearly as bad as our offense, which can only be described as...

sloppy, lethargic, predictable and impotent...

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Just read a article saying that hit early n the game had an effect on him rest of the game and that last year his shoulder he had surgery on wasn't feeling right either....

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

If his arm is OK and we lose a few more, Jerry is gonna come knocking with a huge bounty.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

For Drew or Sean Payton?!?

I'd let Drew geaux with age/salary cap commitment at this point for two number ones...

H*ll, I'd take a one and three and a three the next season...

Sure Loomis will get us a nice conditional fifth round pick!

But no way in H*ll, I let Jerruh have Sean Payton; Jones already has the commissioner...

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

I think it's what is best for the team

Drew's been incredible but it's time to move on from them all and start fresh

We have some very good potential from the rookies, we can build a more successful team without constantly killing our salary cap.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

If the season ended today, maybe ... it's a business, even Peyton Manning got his walking papers at some point ... which makes me think if there's an outstanding college QB prospect the Saints can deal Drew for a #1 pick, it just might happen, #sigh.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

After two games, I don't want to talk about next year.
-Payton needs to give up the play calling.
-The attack overall needs to be run based and non-vertical in passing.
-The offense needs a quicker use of tempo.
-The horrible misuse of timeouts has to change.
-Peat needs to start at RT.
-Man up across the board on D and bring the heat.
-Hicks needs to start at DT with Williams. Richardson at DE.
-The special teams coach needs to be removed from the building.
-Anyone who has a problem with the above, don't let the door hit ya.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Only teams that can absorb a cap hit like Drews are far and few in between. A contender willing to redo Drews contract and willing to turn the keys over to the house in the next few drafts. A team that feels the window is there and only thing missing is a QB. I have no takers right off the top of my head during the year. last year of his contract in the 2016 off season seems logical for any team to pick up the phone.

But if Drew is to leave the saints, I can see it with him at the end of the 2016 season. That is when he can pick the team to chase the ring if the saints are in a official rebuild mode still. Take the comp pick and part ways with everyone's blessings and thanks.

Hate to see the saints pull and Archie on Drew

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

My thinking exactly, I don't think a team would trade for that cap-hit. Only chance would be if he renegotiated the contract first.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

He is 4-11 in potential 4th quarter comebacks in the last 3 years. This would include not getting a 1st down that would kill a game.

Either it's him or us having too much expectation.

Brady and Manning are better. Seems like a few others are too.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

If there is nobody getting open, there is nobody to throw to, doesn't matter how good Drew is or isn't.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

after 2 games????? really????? Hilarious the S**t I read in here sometimes

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Now that the cat is out the bag about his shoulder bothering him, I doubt that very many teams will be lining up to grab Brees at top dollar....it would certainly be a heck of a personal gamble, for a GM to risk his job to take a chance on Brees and his surgically repaired shoulder, at his age, when it's acknowledged that it bothered him the past two years. It's not 2006 anymore folks. I always feared that Drew's shoulder would give out before the rest of him did; that his shoulder would decide to hang up the pads on its own, before the rest of Drew was ready to give up his cleats or helmet or chin strap. That'd be really sad if it were to happen that way. I'm not ready to pronounce total doom on the whole season yet, it's one day at a time, but the day of reckoning may be closer than we think.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

He can't be traded. His contract insures that. No way any team can absorb $27M+.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Half of Drew is better than half the QBs out there.

I wonder if Drew will even be playing by years end.

I just read a RUMOR on another site that Drew's injury is rotator cuff related. And unfortunately it was from a highly respected poster.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Man I hope that is not correct, that will be a killer.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Lots of whispers right now that he's done for the season because of the rotator cuff.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Lets just hope its one of the false rumors started by some nefarious type.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Ab-so-blinking-lutely.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Trade him to the Jets for Muhammad Wilkerson and the highest pick we can get.

Trade a draft pick for Victor Cruz. Sign Hakeem Nicks. Let's begin the Grayson era.

And does anybody remember all the success Ingram has out of the pistol? The pistol should be our base set. We need to keep running backs in until they signal that they're tired or if they're just ineffective.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

No. He won't be traded. Enough said.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

No

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Or you could just start pulling for the NY teams.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Drew is not going anywhere. No one will trade for a QB that has 1 year left on his contract and that payout is 27 million. Drew will play this year and next with the Saints and retire. With 64,000 yards he will retire a top 3 qb.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Drew isn't getting traded. What could happen is the Saints cut him lose to save 20 million of the cap hit for next season.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

One of three things happens...

(1) Drew recovers, team renegotiates his salary to one that is more cap friendy...

(2) Drew retires after this season, as a Saint, and the transition continues...

(3) Drew is traded for two conditional second round picks with Jeff Ireland doing the negotiating...

The Saints front office can not wreck this franchise with that salary cap number...

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

If he is hurt we wont get **** for him so what would be the point. We will have to eat the money and play a wounded QB or cut him outright.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

They can keep Luck

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

I assumed the board recognized it meant if the season continued on the current course. Let's be clear, I am not blaming him. I am just asking if we will trade him if another season is bad.

This isn't two games, this goes back to the 7-9 we were last year, and in truth Tampa gave us the last game of the season so they'd have the number 1.We would have been 6-10 had they not. That means we are 7-11 out of our last 18 with 6 straight losses at home. After two games, not exactly. If the play on this past Sunday was not a reminder of exactly how we looked last year this post wouldn't have been made.

Let's all hope that the injury to Drew woke this entire frigan team up, but I won't believe it until I see it.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

The season is DONE, Payton and Mickey are DONE. He has value. Take advantage.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

I doubt Brees will get traded, like it's been said by many no team can take that cap hit. What I believe happens is Brees gets a new contract so that big hit for next year is absorbed to a more manageable number. I can also see this being Brees last year with the Saints if there are any concerns about him not being able to throw deep, or an unwillingness by Brees to redo/extend his contract.

Re: Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?
 

1. The only way Drew renegotiates is if the Saints add years to the current deal. In a league with a lack of good QBs, unless he is hurt at season's end, Drew will bet on himself and make Saints cut him if they want him to reduce his salary. Some team would pay him that much on a 1-3 year deal.

2. Possibly, but unless his injury is career threatening, Brees still has 2-3 years left in his mind. He's at the age Peyton came back from a much worse injury.

3. Possible- would be interesting to see what Drew's value is on the trade market.
