I am ok trading Brees away but we should get something!!!

His cap hit is a monster... he deserves it but we aren't going to have him very long anyways... he won't be able to play to the level we are going to need him to play. 1 - 2 more years? If we can replace him with a franchise QB I say do it and we'd have more years without worrying so much about the QB position.

I think Drew can play at a high level for at least 3 more years. Protect him by building a good, young O-line. Draft a high potential QB in the 3rd like Petty and let him learn from Drew for 3 years. Drew should retire a Saint, the last thing I want to see is him wearing another jersey on Sunday.

We can be like the Patriots or Packers and groom QBs (Brady, Rodgers), or we can be like Tampa and the Jets missing on draft picks left and right. Trading up has not worked out well for us and I really hope we don't do it this year, particularly for a QB.
