So what's the over/under on Brees' contract in regards to years?

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Plus, plus signings...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Apparently he wants 4 years 100ml.
Its all about the guaranteed money though. I would go over 50-60ml (3 years) max.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Lee, where did you read Condon and Brees are asking for those numbers?

***Updated***

Nevermind, I found it > Yahoo Sports - Here's what a Drew Brees extension can look like and what concerns the Saints

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Any word on any number changes now that we've cut down the roster? I'm sure someone like Vonn Bell is dying to change that awful #48 lol.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Actually I think safeties having Nos. in the 40s is pretty cool...Ronnie Lott wore No. 42, John Lynch wore No. 47, Kenny Easley wore No. 45

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

C'mon JP,

This is the "new" league and those were ole school baller numbers ;).

I always preferred safeties & corners wearing #'s in the "20's".

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

We've made a little flurry of moves...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

With the re signing of Cadet, we now have 6 RB's on the roster.

Weird.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Surprised at the Cadet signing eith Spiller,Murphy and Lasco all able to play the change of pace role and kick return.

I know Ingram and Spiller are injury probe but surprised

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Just to circle back to my earlier question about jersey number changes... Someone asked De'Vante Harris about that on Twitter and I got a kick out of his answer:

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

You know I started to wonder, with all this talk of how great the Dallas o-line is...

Why is Romo constantly writhing on the ground in agony?

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Because he doesn't know how to get rid of the ball, thinks he should have 6 secs to throw every play...

He also seems to be made of glass, so there's that too.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

MRI of Romo's collarbone revealed buildup of peanut brittle, sources say.

"Generally there's a strong layer of toughness that sheaths pro football players' bones," said Dallas orthopedic specialist. "But you can clearly see here, there's only a thin layer of chocolate surrounding what appears to be loosely clumped-together peanut brittle."

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

And some of Romo's injuries have been when he's scrambling outside protection of his pocket...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Do the Feagles need a RB? We've got 6.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I don't know; but they're in deep discussions with someone regarding a Kline trade; according to rumors...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I'd rather have G/T Matt Tobin...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Well I'd :censored: on a spark plug if I thought it'd help.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

But Lasco and Murphy got concussions last game and Cadet can return kicks since both may be out.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Just a way of carrying and taking a look at somebody until Rankins is back

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I was fully expecting to read a "Saints signed xxxxx" today, but a freaking Kicker isn't quite what I was hoping for.:(

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

You can never have too many Kickers... oh wait, yes you can!

Is he practice squad eligible?

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Things are really heating up in the front office. I would imagine it's as intense right now on airline Hwy as it is during the draft.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

And 9/11 (Oakland) is quickly approaching.

Can't wait.
