No movement on Brees talks - Brees has had highest paid player in NFL deal on table since 6/11/12

The way our 1st round picks have gone, we'd be better of signing an UDFA as QB.

I don't think we draft a QB to be our next Brees. Payton will pluck a young FA starter/backup.

And this is why having Brees longterm is key - Brees, unlike many star QB's WILL MENTOR a younger guy.

That in itself is worth having Brees for 5-6 more seasons.

July 16 can't get here soon enough to end this one way or the other.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing with you that Drew wouldn't give any team it's best chance at a title. You build your team around a great quarterback, as the Saints have with him. At 33, he's certainly got a lot left in the tank, but that's a little too old for some team to throw all their assets into. The Broncos decided to do that with a 36 year old, and personally I think they're idiots for it. For Peyton, it was the obvious choice considering his former team didn't want him anymore.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
