I see that being the scenario when Brees retires. Until then, it's not so difficult to keep your top talent to ensure the team remains competitive while that window is open.

So the best chance we have is seeing some vets take a pay cut this year?

Straight up cuts are more likely, but I could see Brees, Grubbs, PT and/or Sproles all candidates for taking a restructure or pay cut this year.

This franchise has involuntarily tanked enough seasons. It doesn't dare do it on purpose.

On your reply to lee, we have way too much talent to blow our offense up, even with out Drew Brees. Over the next 3-5 years you are going to see us get younger so that a new QB steps onto the field with experienced veterans of our system. So me a blow up is a one year regime change... coaches and all.

Now, where did you pull 8m cap increase? The article says 4m and from what I have heard it will be in that neighborhood as the 290m will be divided between the 32 teams but its is not a direct transfer, there is a formula involved and advertising on two networks amongst other things comes out of that.

They changed the number, it said 7.8 or 7.9 million when the story was first posted.
