Re: No Renegotiation for Brees
KC is not tough? SD has given us problems. We beat them last two but the last one wasn't easy.

Let me fix that for you...

Now Brees may decide to play ball. But he's not obligated to do so. SFIAH |

I think paying $15 million and no QB would be a tough pill to swallow. It would have to be a Herschel Walker type trade deal to make sense. SFIAH |

Brady's relatively modest deal frees up $15 million worth of salary-cap space for the Patriots in the 2013 and 2014 seasons, a league source told ESPN. blah blah blah The Patriots gained $8 million in salary-cap space this year and $7 million in cap room next season. Brady's cap numbers, which were scheduled to be $21.8 million in each of the next two offseasons, now will be $14.8 million this season and $13.8 million next season. Tom Brady, New England Patriots agree to 3-year, $27 million extension, according to source - ESPN Boston how did they do it? In the new deal, Brady changed the $24 million “skill” guarantee in his contract to “injury” guarantee. By doing that, Brady will get the guaranteed money only if he is injured. The Patriots will now be able to release the Brady at any time, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent, in which case there would likely be plenty of teams interested. Report: Tom Brady restructures and gives the Patriots $24 million to spend_BINARY_2113333 - Sports - providencejournal.com - Providence, RI simply changed the wording. what is the difference between the saints and the pats a team the saints say they emulate? this is a huge difference. with the pats you take one for the team. if you think they are going to hog up cap space at the end of their careers or hold them hostage. think again. bye via free agency or traded, either way it is not going to happen. they are happy with comp picks for dumping greedy players that do not tow the company line. saints do not and are not building this type of attitude among the team as a whole. 20 mill a year for an aging QB who by age itself has hit the ceiling and is cling for dear life to stay there. will always loss to gravity and start to fall back to the floor in which he came from. finger nails can only last so long. something always gives. i love drew but if a team calls and offer serious picks in 2015 1st + additional and a 1st in 2016 i would have to think long and hard on not pulling a manning on him. target Conner in 2016 |

Re: No Renegotiation for Brees
With this front office, I'd rather they grab a QB in free agency over drafting one and waiting on him to develop

Re: No Renegotiation for Brees
How many good QBs hit FA these days?
Manning did but that was purly down to a circumstances that come around once in a blue moon(Aging QB with career in doubt,team has number one pick with one of the greatest QB prospects ever coming out that year) QBs dont sit and develop these days,most start pretty quickly and Luck,Wilson have had good success really early. RG3 first year was impressive,Tannehill gets better each year. Id rather take a shot on any of them in the draft,especially when you consider what average QBs like Cutler,Flacco cost and eeven they do not make FA. The biggest FA QBs in the past few years with salary (years/overall/guarantee) Ryan Fitzpatrick 2/6.5/1.75 Alex Smith 3 /$27/9ml Chase Daniel 3/10/4.8 Matt Flynn 3/19/0 Non of them will win you anything |
"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
