Drew Brees deal could gut the Saints

Halo · 03-01-2012, 03:16 PM

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......
