Exactly what I'm worried about. We free up some room now, but will be paying a 39 year-old qb a ridiculous amount of money and eating up cap space. I appreciate the all-in move (especially with Brees' last good years), I just don't want to see us handcuff ourselves to a point where we have no room to make necessary moves.
IMO, this means that the draft will become ever more important to this franchise over the next half decade. We will need low-cost producers at other positions.
