FO--Brilliant!! (Leinart News)

There is no way that we tie up that much money in two quarterbacks. Leinart at number two will command an enormous signing bonus and Drew Brees just left a similar situation in San Diego. Plus we have so many needs right now, it just doesn't make sense from a football or financial aspect to draft Leinart. Ferguson to add with Brown or Hawk to give us the stud LB we have been craving for years. Those should be the two options!

I wouldn't go so far as to say there's no way. We have about 16-20 mil in cap room, same as San D did then they got Rivers. We COULD do it, but it's not likely we will. Add to it, Brees' deal is basically only for this year, and it is definitely something we could do. Not something I want us to do any more, but it's not 100% impossible at this point.

It's just posturing. Hopefully other teams will feel that it is indeed something that the Saints will do and i hope it scares them into doing something drastic.

Simply put, if Sean Payton can help get the Cowboys into the playoffs with Quincy Carter then Adrian McPherson should be a sufficient back-up.

... on a side note: if people would get together and apply all this mental and physical effort into something good, instead of wasting it on NFL draft predictions, the world would be a much better place

If the world could tackle or catch a pass, people would be better.
