Drew Brees will need to take 'hometown discount' to stay after 2015, report says

Cruize · 12-28-2015, 03:26 PM

He won't take a discount and I understand it. As a Saints fan, I wish he would. But, I certainly won't think worse of him if he didn't. He's not the problem. He's still at the top of his game. The Saints defensive talent and coaching are the problem.

The problem with him staying with the Saints is, with his salary, the Saints will have to strike gold in the draft or low-rent free agency. Both are highly unlikely. Which will lead to another season like 2015. Not good enough regardless of how Drew plays.

Let Brees move on. Get draft picks for Payton. Hire Marrone and a completely new defensive staff. Let McNown, Flynn and Grayson battle it out for the QB job. Draft the best OG, OLB, DE, DT, TE, and WR available. Stay away from free agency unless it's the deal of the century. Get the cap right and move forward.

He's not going anywhere.

If the real Lewis comes back our starting corners are golden. We will have Anthony in the middle and Cam on one end. If we can just get another good pass rusher so they cant always put a back to chip on Cam or move a TE on him our D is set. Our safeties are good enough with a little pressure on the opposing QB. I don't think we are that far away. As far as offense I think we are an average guard and a WR away from reclaiming the #1 offense.

He's not leaving. Pretty sure I heard Tasker during the game say that the Saints had two options: pay Brees 30 million next year or restructure, letting him walk would be a horrible decision

They can restructure and trade. If Manning is indeed finished I could see a team like the Broncos taking on that salary. Again it would be a dumb ass move to do so but it could happen.

Denver is dumb enough to go with Brock Osweiller. IF he does go, his best bet is Miami or Chicago. KC would be the best place but Grubbs is there.

I dont think it is dumb if Denver moves on from Manning. He has regressed snd only getting injured more snd more as time moves on. That $20ml in cap money could go a long way on building a championship team.

Problem is Denver is trying to put in Kubiak's offense which Manning is a poor fit...

Manning is used to moving the ball, scoring...

Kubiak is used to losing...

You can see the logic...
