What would you do if

Well, the Saints have done some crazy-stupid things before.

Maybe not as crazy as letting Drew walk though. However, after the tears and graying of more hair, I have been and always will be a Saints fan. No matter what.

This whole theoretical discussion centers on the phrase "with no new contract imminent" in the original post, which is false, so why even contemplate it. Both parties have said repeatedly that a contract is imminent and the intention is for Drew Brees to resign with the Saints. Now if we were reading articles every day about "Cleveland is looking to sign Brees" or "Drew Brees stops in to visit Dallas training facility" or "Redskins sign O-line players, eyeing Drew Brees as new face of team" then I'd be excreting rectangular building materials made of red clay. But NONE of those type of articles exist. No one with any credibility about the talks has even mentioned one other team he might theoretically go to.

There's just too much off-the-field money and politics riding on it, for the organization to let it happen -- no Brees = too many cancelled season tickets = empty Superdome = loss of concession/parking revenue = taxpayers angry over tens of millions of dollars in renovations = p---sed of Mercedes sponsorship = a whole mess of problems that the Bensons simply cannot afford. This conversation is silly.

I'd get a Schweggman's bag and paint a big 9 on the back.

I swear no one has heard of a franchise tag?

I don't see it happening either... both sides have even said its going to get done.

No since in worrying over nothing... worry about getting laid or something.

Chase would be fine. He's better than a lot of other starters that's for sure. I think the playoffs are not out of the question either. Right now, the Saints are out of balance on the defensive side. Bring in a couple of good defenders, get a real pass rush going....no telling what could happen. I think we all know though Brees ain't goin' nowhere. It would be a real travesty if he left considering he's the single best thing that ever happned to the Saints. I don't even want to ponder on it too long...very depressing.
