this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I don't think so. I think they're waiting to see if these suspensions are upheld so they have more cap room to work with....

This thread so far gets my vote for stupid thread of the year.
No way do you ever part ways with an elite QB. Unless you're the Colts and you are able to get another that is younger to groom. |

As you point out, there is a lot more to this than just paying Drew. Both parties are between a rock and a hard spot... Drew is between the FT and trying to get a contract in a limited time frame. The front office is trying to balance paying drew, salary cap, and the fall out from not signing Drew. Let Drew walk, and see how much money the team loses in ticket sales, jersey sales, etc.... This has to play out. |

The catch is how many draft picks turn into a Payton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, or Aaron Rogers for that matter... That's too big of a gamble in my opinion. They tanked an entire season for a first round QB and only two of the afore mentioned Super Elite QB's were a first round draft picks. Out of those 4 only Manning was a 1-1. |

agreed except last point....which is annoying given that I truly believe they are only inches apart but are still dragging....

Do you think the Saints may have been weighing the option of parting ways with Brees? | This thread | Refback | 06-14-2012 10:14 PM | 7 |
