Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future

lumm0x · 09-30-2015, 11:52 AM

Unless we are planning a trade for a significant salary player I totally do not understand this move.

I have no doubt we're making a move for somebody.

TE? WR? DE/OLB?

Antonio Gates. Coming from suspension. (4 games)

He is still good. Most important thing, can catch football in traffic.

Heard on the radio Payton talking about TE. He is not happy with the production so far and said we need some help there. His exact words.

Brandon Browner for Travis Kelce lol

Da Bears are having a fire sale. Can we get some O-line help or CB anything.

I find this news unsettling. More pushing back the problems for a short term "solution". Loomis can't just keep treating this like he's got to salvage the window we have left with Drew. That window, while not officially closed, is clearly broken. The more we try to patch things up for the short term, the longer it's going to take to recover our losses and rebuild.

Get Drew healthy, hope that he returns at least relatively close to form, draft some freaking help for him, and hope that the defense grows up enough. Then we might be good again while Drew is still here. If we get desperate, I think we're only closing the window faster.

I don't know exactly what's going to happen with this move, so maybe something else will come about that makes more sense. But if it's what it looks like, I'm not sure it's worth it at all. It's not like we're going to get AJ Green or Julio Jones.

You guys can feel however you want but this season is far from over and it's obvious the team hasn't given up.

Not to paint too pretty of a picture here, but all three losses went down to the wire and we lost by shooting ourselves in the foot.

3 starters coming back from injury.
1 more player could make an impact.
Anything can happen.

Like 3-3 and a game back by week six.

I never thought they were giving up (other than Sean's punt decision near the end of the Arizona game) but they just aren't very good. Arizona is a good team, but we lost to a horrible Tampa team and a banged up Carolina. Yes we have our injuries, but we don't have enough play makers on offense right now, and all the injuries are on the defensive side. It'll be nice if Byrd and Lewis come back healthy enough to help us, but we also haven't played a particularly tough schedule yet. I wonder just how much of a difference they can make.

A healthy Brees makes us competitive, but not playoff competitive, especially with the hole we're already in. I hope I'm wrong, obviously. We shall see.

Yup someone is on SP's radar. Agreed games are very close! A win against the Cow's will swing the momentum.
