If they franchise Brees they are forced to keep him, b/c no one\'s going to trade the picks and pay him top 5 money. Franchising could be dangerous. But I think that they do have to go to the kid, just like Lewis did in Cincy despite Kitna having a great year the year before. Eventually, you have to make the switch... or trade the number one pick if you think that Brees is the way to go. A transition tag may be better for SD - that way they get something (right?) but they still have the opportunity to move Brees.
