I've said this from day 1, this isn't as simple as "PAY THE MAN"

Tom Condon (agent) put together a deal for Payton Manning and Indy that was so lopsided not only did it GUT the Colts, but they had to restructure Manning's contract this past offseason just to make the damn thing work.

If we pay Drew 100 mil, forget about ANY upgrades on Defense and possibly losing some offensive line and skills players to make room to create a full roster.

Hate to say it guys but this is about Drew also. If he goes hard-line with Condon's recommendations, we have a choice of signing him and never being able to upgrade our team to championship caliber, or wasting a franchise tag on all this BS.

March 5 is MONDAY and I don't see this deal happening before then, so just expect to lose a franchise tag on Drew. We'll lose Nicks or Colston over this......

I think I am going to take some sleeping pills and wake up on Monday.

I'm not saying that losing Brees would be a good thing or that it is something that is going to happen, so keep that in mind.

But, if the Saints and Brees were to part ways, I'm confident that SP could "coach up" another QB, because that is one of his specialties. I mean, he convinced Parcels to sign Romo after he went undrafted and gave him the tools to be mentally ready when the call came to take the field for Bledsoe.

I'm not saying that Romo is a great QB, but SP did a lot for him to become the QB he is today, and I have no doubts that SP could do it again - maybe Kellen Moore?

Brees is a hard guy to replace, maybe even impossible, but the Saints are bigger than one man, and that is something we all should remember.

So what would you do tag him for 2 #1's ?

After todays restructuring of Smith's contract, I will again mention what I said a few weeks back. The Saints are reworking other contracts behind the scenes in order to keep all three of the key players (DB,MC, CN) and possibly some others as well. I think over the next two days we will begin to see some more news trickle out. Worse case, I could be wrong and as mentioned above the Saints will take a step back. But you know what, I can still die a happy man, I lived to see my Saints win a Super Bowl, my LSU Tigers win a NC and the birth of my granddaughter....Life is good...

We are miles ahead of where the Colts were when Manning went down.
