I doubt we are looking to trade him now, or at all. They burned a roster spot last year just to keep him from getting claimed off the practice squad.

He's not gonna wait around 5 or 6 more years to take over for Brees. He'll be a free-agent in 2017 so I could see us trading him in 2016. Might get a Matt Schaub type deal for him.

Yeah, I hope we can trade him and get something for him. Otherwise, it'll be Chase Daniel all over again.
One thing's for sure. We're gonna hang onto him as long as we can, and pray he never has to play in anything but preseason games.

When you go back and look at how he played last preseason, it is pretty impressive. The kid has pocket presence which is a huge success factor for any QB.

I haven't seen anything from him. Just a little last preseason. I hope with Drews age that we pull him when the game is already won and give griffin some snaps. And let him actually pass.

Drew will not give up a snap to another QB if he has any say about it. "Never let the back ups on the field." Drew Brees.
