The only way I'd see this as worth while would be if PM was actually (guaranteed) healthy enough to play at his pre-injury level, and if the Saints were able to make a trade for Brees and get the two 1st rounders in return for him - since exclusive rights FA doesn't mean that the team holding the rights can't negotiate with other teams.
Under those circumstances I'd see the trade as a definite possibility, because like already stated, PM would come with baggage and, therefore, he would undoubtedly sign for less than Brees. Also, the Saints might then bring in Wayne and Garcon to replace Colston and Meachem, although that would be a downgrade. |

FWIW...I heard somewhere that Peyton was willing to restructure his contract in a way where he would be paid minimal or even no guaranteed money and have it all structured on performance. I don't know whether he was referring to for the Colts or anyone...but at that price it would be a decent deal.
I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't offer that to the Saints unless Drew was out of the picture...and I don't think he has time to wait to see how that is all gonna unfold. |

Sounds like a real fairytale story because Manning is from NOLA.
But what if he's hurt to where he can't play an entire season? No one has seen him throw a pass since his 4th surgery on his neck... |

Nope! Why would I sign a near end of career QB to replace a near end of career QB? One hit and Payton could go down. Pay Brees and be done with it.
As the OP was worded.... We can not afford both. Are we actually going to let go of THE most productive QBs in the last 3 years for 5mil? Besides..... Manning and Paton are not a good personality match... Should we pick up Caldwell too?!?!?! |

That said, he has zero chance of ever being a Saint as Brees will definitely be here for the remainder of his playing career. |

This cant really be a thread is it....... come on y'all cant be throwing Brees under the bus for this yea its pretty bad that they cant come to agreement on it and its between 5 mill. But come on ppl have yall forgot who was and still is the savior of this Franchise its DREW BREES......this talking about replacing him with Peyton Manning is by far one of the dumbest Threads on here, Brees deserves every penny of the money that hes asking for and the Saints better pay it and keep him happy...With out Brees this team would not have a Super Bowl Title and be as good as it is........
Peyton Manning can take a hike |

What I would do if I were in charge - and sadly I'm not - is bring Manning in for a conversation. Feel it out. No disrespect to Drew, because if Drew doesn't want to sign his 'richest contract ever' deal that's his choice. If he is willing to play under the franchise tag at 14.whatever million then he's still my first choice.
BUT, if he's not planning to sign, then I'm at least going to have a conversation with Manning. That's just smart business. |
