Drew Brees and the Saints can sit tight for one more year, but then what?

On point 3, what do you define as a house cleaning? The house has been totally cleaned over the past three seasons. Strief, Brees and Evans are the only remaining players. The defense has seen 100 percent turnover.

Loomis and SP...
and let's face it, after a hypothetical 4th losing year in a row, they should go

You don't get it though. As long as Tom Benson and his wife are owners of the team neither are going anywhere no matter how badly you wish. Face the facts.

Want to make it so he stays?

OFFENSIVE OFF SEASON

Keep him up right and healthy is the best thing the saints can do for him. Been saying it for years. Stop screwing around with the OL. Add a few weapons and finish building this thing already.

Kevin Zeitler RG
Rick Wagner RT
O.J. Howard TE
A taller #2 WR opposite of Michael Thomas would be nice also

So no defense at all in the draft?

Zeitler - 100%

Rick Wagner - 90%

OJ Howard - 5%......defense baby

If someone is better than Coleman then fine but I'm not investing a penny at WR

Re-sign Fairley if possible.......unfortunately he's played himself out of our price range I believe. Draft or sign a speed edge rusher and get after the QB. Give me a LB'er too.

I wouldn't be disappointed if we went entirely defense all offseason and draft.

Dizzle,

I do believe the Saints will have to address the guard situation this offseason. Evans coming back just before the season was a lucky break.

But I agree that there's no need for any fantasylike discussion of any more offensive skill players. With the production at the QB, WR, and RB and the fact that the Saints are stuck with Fleener for another year at least, there are no needs in the offensive skill positions.

Of course I know from a more than a decade of offseasons here that's wishful thinking.
