The answer will always be no for 2021.

Taysom Hill will be the QB for 2021. Not because he is better than other options, but because he is under contract.

WE ARE $96M OVER THE CAP. We are so far over the cap without signing any FA to fill a full roster....

Hopefully I crushed the dreams of a few. We will be lucky to walk away with a 8-8 record. If Payton get us to 9-7 than ill be shocked (the cap is the problem, not Brees leaving).

Ross Jackson does a great job of addressing this on Monday's Whodat Confessional podcast. He basically stated that Loomis and Khai Hartley have multiple ways to trim the fat and doesn't think that the team will look that much different. (I have a hard time believing that but Ross is probably correct. He's a smart guy).
