Report: Saints have reworked Brees's contract to free up nearly $24M

I'm going to sit here, drink my cup of coffee, smoke a Flor de Antillas, and watch Drew Brees videos. I feel as an organization we let him down. We never really got him a defense until he was aged. He should have at least 2 MVP trophies, but got screwed both times. At least we didn't completely turn him into Dan Marino. We won a Super Bowl. There are a lot of greats that are unfortunate never to have that. Still, as good as he was, we should have gotten him more. His best chances shouldn't have been in his late 30s and early 40s.

On your next drag reflect on the fact that at one point his contract gobbled up money to be used on a defense. I am not saying he wasn't worth the pay, I am saying he is/was part of the organization you believe failed him.

A lot of what he doesn't have isn't because of the Saints, it is because he was a Saint.

Maybe we don't point fingers as no one in that organization is free of having a hand in the outcome of out seasons. There is a cap and everyone wants to get paid.
