That really is the best thing for the team. I don't expect it to happen, but it would be huge. There are several people who will say he shouldn't have to do that, because it's his money... blah blah. Yes, it's his money. But if he wants to win it's kind of important that he clear some space.

We know Mickey won't clear it any other way.

I have no doubt Brees will do the Brady-type extension after this season. The future cap will not be an issue. The cap limit is rising a significant amount each year and there is no end to that trend in sight. Pushing cap hit to the future is smart finance. This is nothing but cost accounting 101. And, yes, I do have an accounting degree ... as does Loomis.
