Not sure yet if Payton's move of Griffin to the active squad as a counter to the Rams' practice squad waiver claim last season was a counter to inflating his value or if he feels this is his "next" guy - if Griffin beats out the other McCown, it could be telling... But Brees turns 36 this season - Saints should still be playing mid-January according to Archie's roster assessment - and I don't see extending that contract when the current one is not even finished... And so there's the reality of age that is there whether we want to face it or neaux... |

Brees is still one of the very few elite QB's in the game and there is no reason given how he takes care of himself that he couldn't remain one of the best QB's in the game and far better than any other option.

Re: 2014 New Orleans Saints: Depth Chart
Father time catches everyone. I don't see several more years with him taking shots like he has, conditioning or not. If it would ever come to a point like (Kenny Stabler) trying to milk out his career then I would be all for change, as long as Brees continues to play at a high level, then everything is good, or if he were in a position like John Elway winning 2 and riding off in the sunset, I would much rather Brees go out on top than fade away. 40 or so I would have to think no.

Re: 2014 New Orleans Saints: Depth Chart
Yes but the heat should be on every player that suits up, if any starter would get beat out and so-be-it ,thats the only way to improve at each position. I never have liked the thought of being penciled in that only makes things weak.
