Drew Brees
ESPN has reported San D. will not franchise or transition tag him. I'd go after him, and use our draft pick to trade down a couple of spots and get D'Brick or AJ Hawk. QB position would be solved wih a young, pro bowl, proven vet, AND we would get to address another key position with a stud, while gaining another pick. I would LOVE to have Leinart, but Brees would give us a better chance to win now. And like I said, the additional player and picks we would be able to gain in the draft would be priceless. What ya think?

RE: Drew Brees
Yeah, Did u see that shoulder injury! There are no guarantees that his recovery will go smooth (see chad pennington). If the saints can sign him at a good price then yes take a flyer on him, but don't mortgage the future and give up a Franchise QB in Leinart to sign Brees. Besides just because SD isn't tagging him doesn't mean they don't want him. They will be involved in bidding for his services, they just didn't want to guarantee a ton of money to a guy coming off a SERIOUS INJURY!

RE: Drew Brees
I'll still take Leinart. That injury was nasty. I also think Leinart has more potential than Brees

RE: Drew Brees
When you are a winning ball club you don't get rid of your QB... He'll get resigned by San Degio.
Oh and also Rivers is NOT ready to play so no way are they ready to part ways with Brees. |

I'll asnwer you guys' queries with this:
From Peter King: [quote]Obviously there's some hesitation about signing Brees because of surgery to repair a partially torn labrum. But this is a top-six or -seven quarterback right now, and he's 27. The players and doctors familiar with this surgery think there's no question he'll make a full recovery.[/quote] From ESPN:

I think he needs to go to Dallas. We do not collect "Drew's" (Henson, Bledsoe) here. We collect "Billy Joe's" (Hobert, Tolliver).
Seriously, as good as he has played the last couple of years, I don't see SD letting him walk as easily as they have. Unless, they know something about the injury that we don't. |

This is awfullt tempting. I have liked Brees since he was at Purdue. That injury was one of the worst that I have seen. I don't know what to think. I think he is awesome but that shoulder lookd horrible.
