Will Drew be traded at the end of the year?

Rugby Saint II · 09-22-2015, 01:07 PM

No. He won't be traded. Enough said.

No

Drew is not going anywhere. No one will trade for a QB that has 1 year left on his contract and that payout is 27 million. Drew will play this year and next with the Saints and retire. With 64,000 yards he will retire a top 3 qb.

Drew isn't getting traded. What could happen is the Saints cut him lose to save 20 million of the cap hit for next season.

One of three things happens...

(1) Drew recovers, team renegotiates his salary to one that is more cap friendy...

(2) Drew retires after this season, as a Saint, and the transition continues...

(3) Drew is traded for two conditional second round picks with Jeff Ireland doing the negotiating...

The Saints front office can not wreck this franchise with that salary cap number...

1. The only way Drew renegotiates is if the Saints add years to the current deal. In a league with a lack of good QBs, unless he is hurt at season's end, Drew will bet on himself and make Saints cut him if they want him to reduce his salary. Some team would pay him that much on a 1-3 year deal.

2. Possibly, but unless his injury is career threatening, Brees still has 2-3 years left in his mind. He's at the age Peyton came back from a much worse injury.

3. Possible- would be interesting to see what Drew's value is on the trade market.

The season is DONE, Payton and Mickey are DONE. He has value. Take advantage.

I doubt Brees will get traded, like it's been said by many no team can take that cap hit. What I believe happens is Brees gets a new contract so that big hit for next year is absorbed to a more manageable number. I can also see this being Brees last year with the Saints if there are any concerns about him not being able to throw deep, or an unwillingness by Brees to redo/extend his contract.

No!
A trade involves someone swallowing his current contract.
I don't know a team that would want to take that hit.
If the deal involved the Saints retaining the bulk of the cap hit,
why even bother?
