If both the team and Brees are in the LEAST bit smart, they would realize that the more they commit to Brees, the less likely it is that the team returns to the Super Bowl. Our squad is virtually depthless except at WR. No team can survive an 18 week season without a lot of quality players. The more Brees takes off the table, the more we'll have a season like the last, decent but not championship. Brees won't make the Hall unless he has 2 rings. He should know that and do whatever it takes to make a serious run.

I'm not against paying him a lot of money, I'm against crippling the team.
1 player on 53 should not get more than 8% of cap per year. You wonder why the Colts and the G-dudes are suffering??? hell, TB nearly made the playoffs with the 3rd lowest total salary, and the chiefs were in with the lowest.

Spend smart guys. Don't take it all off the table.
