Slim pickens for a cap strapped team. I'd take the guy who has sat, watched and hopefully studied with a soon to be Hall of Fame QB & Coach Sean Payton over any of these other guys.

But hey, that's just me

I'd like to see Brees get that rotator cuff repaired and give it another go with fans in the stands and a full season without a fluke injury. Now that he's carrying only a league minimum salary he'll be a less expensive option than anyone else out there ... by far.

If he knew for a fact he was going to retire he would have already announced that fact. That leads me to believe he's doing exactly what he said and seriously considering all options, just as he has done each of the past four off-seasons. He very well may end up deciding to retire, but with an extremely team friendly contract already in place for the 2021 season the opportunity to return remains very plausible.

That's just too much.

I don't think the Saints will be active players in this one.

If that's the case, he isn't getting traded.

There are rumors The Texans are wanting to trade Carr for Watson and some picks. Raiders fans don't think the Texans will ship Watson to an AFC team.

Only problem for us is we have nothing to really offer in picks.

That's a NEAUX, Dog.

Advice from a Wall Street Investor.. Buy Low and Sell High, not the other way around.

i think I may be on board with KMajor's pick in the draft, Mac Jones. He may just fall to us. And a rookie contract is way more cap friendly.

I think Derek Carr has let the Black Hole seep into his brain.
Not sure SP with a team of Psychotherapists or even a Voodoo Priestess could snap him back.

I’ve never thought Eli Manning was the sharpest tack in the tool shed..., but there he is at 39! Bottom line, if you feel Winston is lacking in any intellectual manner, then Mr. Brees is right there with him.

Wonderlic does not put them on the same level intellectually, it puts them on the same level cognitively. Wonderlic in short is logic vs emotion and the reason that it is extremely difficult to correlate to intellect is because bad logic is still logic.

The two are related and intertwined but intellect requires objectivity, cognitive function doesn't. A Wonderlic has math, an IQ test has numbers and favors the ability to identify patterns.

Winston stole the test answers, Brees didn’t.
