Best comment on the clowns site

Ya, with that impressive O-Line protecting Ryan to pick apart one of the better safety tandems in the league. We've been beating on the Saints for years.

Is he talking about playing on a xbox as i could have sworn since 2006 our record was 13-3

Increasing cap,older vets on the roster.
Looks like the plan is too win now and pay the cost during the transition from QBs

Yeah. We might be in for a rough few years when Brees retires, but if we can pull in another SB before then it just might become worth it.

Maybe not that bad

If Drew is replaced in the draft the QB will be under the rookie pay scale and will not be earning big money so the savings on Brees will be used to pay others.

I think the rules under retirement also help out the cap...

I'm still in giddy disbelief over this whole thing. If it pans out then you can put this one up there alongside the acquisitions of Brees and Sproles in terms of the dynamic elements each brought to the team. And the fact that we're pairing an All-pro in his prime with the quickly developing monster that is Kenny V is just over the top.

I've come to expect things like this to happen every few years on offense under Payton. He will always have his toy(s).. but to finally have our prayers starting to be answered on defense is almost too much joy for my heart to take.. almost. What a day to be a Saints fan
