“I signed a one-year extension ... so I plan on playing that out and just allowing things to take form and take shape here for next year and putting forth my absolute best effort to help us win a division championship and then a world championship and then again, just one year at a time,” Brees said. “And that’s not a lack of commitment or anything like that. I just want to focus on what’s right in front of me.”
I had missed that entirely. Not much mentioned about it elsewhere. Although, if for some reason cap space is needed, some could be realized from an extension. But, his $24 million hit in 2016 isn't that bad compared to his value.

Agreed. He said that at the conclusion of the season. It's my opinion that he was eluding to the fact that he's tired of losing. I think he may have been indicating that he wasn't going to make a commitment to the Saints until the Saints make a commitment to winning. Soon after he said this stuff, the coaches were fired.

San Fran with over 40 mil!!! Christ what we could do with that. Carolina has a lot too and they get a couple players and will be hard to beat. When is Matt Ryan due for a raise?

You mean let's see how Payton can convince Loomis to screw this up.

Re: Saints have an extra $5.75M in Cap space

We are beginning to reap the benefits of restructuring our scouting and coaching departments the last couple of years. Apparently Ireland is the real deal in finding defensive talent and making that translate to the team on draft day. I like that he has been productive since he came onboard at the Senior bowl.....he was even more productive last year with a full year in our system. I have high hopes that Ireland can spot the talent needed for us to build through the draft defensively.

We just need a couple of good CB's and DE's with some of that cap money
