Could this be the Saints' last season with Drew Brees and Sean Payton?

Rugby Saint II · 07-02-2017, 11:34 AM

If Drew is happy with the progress and doesn't feel the need to find a winner somewhere else then I think Payton and Drew are tied at the hip. If we start slowly and fall apart then Drew might look at other options. This isn't the same staff from a couple of years ago.......we are headed in the right direction. If we could just catch a break and get healthy.......

Drew doesn't want to find a winner elsewhere. He has said he is going to retire a Saint. Whenever he does decide to call it quits with New Orleans it will be because he is finished with football altogether.

There's not a player in the world that likes to play on a one year contract. There's a reason Drew hasn't signed or discussed it.

Peyton Manning did it for the last several years of his career. He also has the same agent as Brees. The only difference is that Manning got injured and was released by the Colts. Brees has discussed it and said he wanted to do the year to year the rest of his playing career. It does protect the team and gives him the ability to adjust to help the cap when needed.

Bad contracts, dead money, injury prone players, terrible draft picks (pre Ireland), holding on to bad coaches a season or two too long, historically bad defenses, etc, etc. I feel bad for Brees.

Brees is wiping sweat off his forehead with $100 bills. I wouldn't feel to bad for him.

He is also an icon in New Orleans. He eats it up. When he does finally retire I'll guarantee you he goes into politics. He has already hinted at the prospect. Any office he wants is his and that is another reason he will remain in New Orleans for the remainder of his career.

"Feeling bad for Brees" in terms of carrying a team (on offense at the QB position) on the gridiron ... year after year and all we can muster up is 7-9 seasons. This guy has been nothing but great since he arrived in New Orleans. Accuracy, reading defenses, leader of men, yada, yada. He can't do it by himself. No one is talking about his salary, running for Mayor after his time is done, opening up restaurants in N.O etc.

It's time for others (defense, special teams & coaches) to step up in 2017.

If we had a improved defense, does Brees play improve to the point that he's as good as Rodgers and the media admits it? Brees has his share of this team's issues.
