This team has way more needs than just signing Drew Brees.
This team has been paying way too much for mediocre players for years (not saying Brees is mediocre at all)
Alot of you call Loomis a cap genius sorry but he's a idiot when it comes the cap
Sometimes you have to know when to walk away from a player as much as it may hurt and we are at that time with Drew
Drew made a living on the deep ball but last year we all saw that skill was diminishing greatly.the screen pass was the bread and butter

As much as it will hurt us as FANS this team needs to start planning for life after Brees because when theses you kids we have now really reach their prime Drew will be long gone and they will have a QB that will not be able to take advantage of their talent

Drew brees is going no where. He will be here and he will get 25 mil a season

All I can say is I am having a hell of a time finding anything you just stated that I can agree with. It's almost as if you are posting from some sort of Bizarro universe.

Who do you replace him with though?
Teams spend decades trying to find a QB

The issue isn't Brees deal its the overpaying others

They should keep a watchful Eye on Josh Rosen from UCLA only a Soph. But looks like he's gonna be special in the coming years

He'll get market value, we'll pay market value.
I'm not worried at all.

I see and appreciate your sarcasm. But in all honesty, the CBA mandates those dollars be paid to players. From: NFL halfway to $25B goal - SportsBusiness Daily | SportsBusiness Journal | SportsBusiness Daily Global

... the NFL will be paying players $6.4 billion in 2016. Under terms of the NFL collective-bargaining agreement, players get between 47 percent and 48 percent of nearly all revenue — so across the 32 teams, that computes to between $13.3 and $13.6 billion in league revenue for the coming year.

That revenue has increased by 60% since 2010.

All of this undergirds the fact that this contract isn't really about the money. QBs like Luck, Palmer, Brady, Eli Manning, and the like are getting similar money.

The contract is about the commitment to a Super Bowl winning, 1st ballot HOF lock, QB that is 38 years old. It is about not being able to allocate those dollars elsewhere and the risk that Brees may not continue to play way above his pay grade.
