Not as old as the Brees worship.

He delivered my my first Lombardi before I moved on. I can't help but have a bit of worship going on.

Does Drew not accepting his offer have anything to do with cap space and making sure Nicks and Colston get signed? I wonder...

I think it all came down to finding out what the exact cap number was, and perhaps what sort of penalty Payton/Benson discovered we'd get from his highness.

My guess is we have a few more players to restructure or flat out cut to fit Brees in.

We may be trying to find cheaper alternatives at several positions in free agency before we cut someone we regret. I think if we sign a decent DT then Ellis may be gone.

Yeah, in one of my previous articles I wrote I named four players that would likely need to restructure due to having a cap hit of over $6M.
