Looks like the Norman situation opened some issues with Brees?

Brees is about Brees. I understand it. I don't blame him. I'm not saying he's wrong. But, at any point, if he wanted to take a cap friendly deal, he would have done so already. If he wants to blame that on the front office in relation to how they've spent Mr. Benson's money, he's being conveniently disingenuous. Not completely incorrect but totally self-serving.

He took a cap friendly deal when the contract started thats why the hit is what it is now. The team decided to back loaded it and save money early. Its not like he asked for a increase,he is still being paid $20ml a year we just asked him to take the money late

We didn't jump on Norman because he wanted big guaranteed money
See what that did with Byrd

You can't blame Brees' cap for mostly terrible drafting pre 2015 and bad FA moves (Byrd, Spiller, Browner, etc)
dead money from Junior and Jimmy Graham. Hopefully Fleener works out but we overpaid him.

We did get Armstead, Cooks, Anthony and Kikaha to build on in the draft and Breaux looks to have a lot of walk on potential

My big problem with Kikahaha is will not be a every down starter.
