Granted I think Brees is a better QB since we traded Graham, but from Graham, to Byrd, to Fleener, to CJ Spiller. How many guys are we going to sign for huge contracts that don't deserve it or will just get released/traded and leave a load of dead money on the books.

That dead money ($41 million) is now off the books. That is history. It has no effect whatsoever with the franchise moving forward. It is irrelevant. The whole point of the thread is about looking to the future.

Very true it has no bearing moving forward, but it has played a major part in my opinion in the failure of the last 2 seasons especially.

Fair point though, let's hope those failures are behind us.

Re: You're Sean Payton

Depending on his interview, his plan, I'd look to Brian Young first for defensive line coach...

I really like the idea of bringing in Mike Singletary as a LBer coach, but would his temperament work under Dennis Allen?

I think it would and his fire and team first mentality would go a long way...

Regarding our kicking game, if Mike Mallory is available, I'd bring him back...

Cheif's Brock Olivo is an assistant on the Chiefs' ST unit, that should interview...

Another guy I'd look to bring in to interview for Special Teams is Marty Biagi who's coached good units at Southern and Notre Dame...

In all likelihood, Kevin O'Dea is already the in-house hire for the kicking game...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I keep seeing this thread. I keep looking in my wallet. It is VERY CLEAR to me I am NOT Sean Payton.

A good example of why changing schemes is a bad idea, watch the Browns next year. They booted there 3-4 DC and brought in Greg Williams and his base 4-3. The Browns have a million draft picks and they are still gonna be the laugh of the league because of choices like that.

The Browns are going to suck next year because they are the Browns, and when you are the Browns, you suck, because that's what Browns do.

You pick Johnny Football in the first round...you've got bigger problems than what D to run.

If this seasons D blows chunks Brees should demand a trade plain and simple.
