I'd like to try and get Derek Carr

Rugby Saint II · 02-09-2021, 11:33 AM

This year we will draft to fill a lot of needs and might even move back a time or two to get more draft picks. I don't see us trading up until we have put the roster back in tact to where we have been since '17.

Sell high and buy cheap does not include QB. "whoever" is left over out there will be a back up at most.

Winston, Trubisky

, Brisette, Fig Newton, Dalton, Colt McKoy or Tyrod Taylor.

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.

I saw a video yesterday Guido that may have an answer on this. It seemed to indicate that if he retires before a certain date (sometime in June if I remember correctly) then about 11 million in cap hit comes into play. If it is after that date, then it doesn’t. So, he could have made his mind up but can’t say so yet without putting a dent in the Saint’s financial situation.

June 1st is the date that remaining guarantees are carried into the following years. Yes, the date is important, but I believe just announcing the decision to retire doesn't trigger anything. What is important is when the papers are officially sent to the league office. He can announce he plans to retire today, but it doesn't become official until those papers arrive.
