I have thought you know there is no way Brees would go...but if we win the big game this year and that is his second SB would he stay or want the challenge elsewhere? I feel he would stay, I can't see him going to a team that possibly won't protect him as well as his line does here. Now the money is a whole other issue. I would love to see us keep all 4 but I tend to agree we can't. If we could keep 3 only I would be inclined to let Smith walk.

Brees wouldn't want a challenge somewhere else, he doesn't like switching teams a lot he only wanted to play for one team for his NFL career, he is not going to leave.

To free up some salary space i'd let will smith walk before anyone else, we have young DE's who are waiting to take the spots anyway
