It's not really kicking the can down the road in this case. We will see a ton of cap relief next year. Paying Drew 20 million net year and 30 over the following 3 wont matter. It's about just getting the deal done at this point. |

The 2017 free agent list is stacked.

Re: Tom Condon: Saints seem satisfied with Drew Brees’ cap number
Or maybe that 3rd round pick last season is living up to Paytons liking.I would be careful paying a big contract to an aging qb.

Re: Tom Condon: Saints seem satisfied with Drew Brees’ cap number
It doesn't seem like getting him his money and not breaking the bank again should be that difficult.
Quarterback Contracts and Salaries | Over The Cap the problem is that Brees and Condon aren't going to budge on whatever their # is, so the Saints are going to either pay it or move on. Brees and TC know this is his last deal, so 4 years $100m is not out of the question |

Re: Tom Condon: Saints seem satisfied with Drew Brees’ cap number
I'd have more faith and confidence in the Payton offensive system than I do in an aging Brees...
Wouldn't pay more than 20 per... Breaking all the passing records is nice for, him, but, what does it do for our Lombardi count? |

Could Sean take another "good" young ascending QB and turn him into a "great" one like he did with Brees? I'm kinda excited about seeing that happen, although kinda scared that it won't. Thoughts? |
