Why would you be pontificating on Payton's personal life?

Why don't you come back and talk crap to people when you are actually right about something.

I rarely, very rarely ever make predictions. The Saints re-signing Brees was one and re-signing Payton was the other. I got Payton right and while the timing may not have been what I initially projected, the jury is still out on Brees and I still like my chances. You are welcome to search for any other bold predictions I have been wrong about.

Re: Saints & Brees re-start contract negotiations

Drew is going to sign and you guys think we might be eyeing a guard too then?

Re: Saints & Brees re-start contract negotiations

If the cap is $60 million, $25 million per year is almost 42 percent of the total salary cap. You want Brees having 42 percent of our salary cap? When we pay Cooks that with Armstead will equate up to over 70 percent of our cap. Players requesting higher money more than ever. Damon Harrison got paid big and he was not exactly a leading team defender. Furthermore in two years Brees, Cooks, and Armstead will combine for nearly $45 million.

when was the cap 60 million 40 years ago?

The cap is like 155 or 160 million, Guido, what's the cap right now?

QBs like Brees are rare. Very rare. We sign him if we can. Period. Make it happen Loomie, then lets go and get us a guard (or two) and dare I say (dare! dare!) another pass rusher or CB?

I concur. Why lose the greatest asset we have?

- ok, im not one of the experts around here. Why are we doing this now?
Is this going to be a distraction? Seems like it would have been smarter to do this in the offseason.
