Ugh, you beat me to it!!!! At 30 he could be a valuable backup and a stop gap in case Brees leaves or retires next year.

Low risk/high reward. Worked with Nick Fairley.

Young kid at a cheap price. Win/win imo

But is he any better than Cool Hand Luke?

Probably not. But I seriously doubt Brees will step down for another three or more years ... unless it is with a second Super Bowl MVP.

Thinks he's worth more than they're offering. Any bets on whether he gets it?

Doubtful but he is 6 years younger

he's now had a full offseason to recover from his back injury

Good points but ...
I'm probably in the minority here but I don't think Paul will be part of the plans in NO for 2017. Simply didn't have enough of an impact on a bad defense.

We need an upgrade.

A great one has called it quits.
