New Orleans Saints need more players to help with salary cap number

And let’s not forget the elephant in the room which is quarterback Drew Brees. Brees and the Saints still need to come to terms on a multi-year contract for the franchise player which will likely be at least $110-$115 million total.

Its my understanding that his cap hit as a franchised QB is larger than what it would be if we signed him long term.

We could save some more cap room by signing Drew long term.

I think Drew's agent is trying to get more money because of the allegations that are being made against the team.

I could be wrong, and probably am, but that is my .02 on the situation!

Even when we get Brees signed, the Saints are still going to have a long, hard season ahead of them.
