And we just cut DT Mabry.

I smell something happening!

Schwartz? Leary?

Anyone named OG?

Just got the report he wants 4 years/$100 million. He can go. I'm fine tanking for Deshaun Watson. I'm tired of the salary cap being held hostage.

AsylumGuido proved me wrong.

You have got to be kidding. Four years/$100 million is nothing with the ongoing cap situation. In year three he will be in the bottom half of NFL QB pay.

Agree, thats a bargain and thats just Brees' starting point. It's likely to be bargained down some.

I'b be very happy with 4 years, 100 million.

The way we backload contracts he'll probably be playing for cheap this year and next year with a crazy cap number in years 3 and 4.

And there's nothing wrong with that. The cap is projected to be at $180 million in 2019. It is stupid to not backload contracts in today's world of ever increasing cap.
