Could this be the Saints' last season with Drew Brees and Sean Payton?
Here a click baiter from SI.com that has very little, if anything, to do with the headline.
:rofl: I know a few of you will like it, though. ;) Could this be the Saints' last season with Drew Brees and Sean Payton? JONATHAN JONES Friday June 30th, 2017 For what seems like the past four off-seasons, the New Orleans Saints have faced a handful of issues that threaten to derail what the franchise has built. Coach Sean Payton comes up as a candidate for one or more job openings. The Saints, known for the fiscal irresponsibility, get into some sort of new salary cap hell. Or there’s a situation with QB Drew Brees’s contract that paralyzes the team and whatever moves the Saints may make that offseason and beyond. It’s been 12 years of the Brees/Payton marriage, and even though it’s seen some rocky times—especially the last three seasons, with identical 7–9 records—it remains in tact. But for how much longer? Since winning Super Bowl XLIV, the Saints have two playoff wins in five postseason games. Is it reasonable to think this season may be the Saints’ last good season with Payton and Brees? First and foremost, it should be noted that even though Brees is entering his age-38 season, there’s not much sign of his play diminishing. Surely his arm would get weaker as the season goes along, but he hasn’t played January football since he was 34 so it’s difficult to assess. Brees is likely a season and a half away from catching Peyton Manning for first place on the all-time passing yards list, and the Saints have been in the top six of the league in passing yards since he got to New Orleans (and top 10 in points in eight of his 11 seasons.)

Good question!! Ask me again if we finish 7-9 and our D stinks up the joint, I'll add several more names to that list, quickly!!

I'm sure the same exact articles were written about the Saints in the '09 preseason. We all know how that went :)

Oh, and Benson could put up FAR more than that in payroll and still be coming out in the black. The owners are supported off shared revenue. He can't help but make money off the team.

Re: Could this be the Saints' last season with Drew Brees and Sean Payton?
All revenues generated by merchandising are shared between 31 teams. Jerry Jones and the Cowboys opted out of the agreement. The broadcast revenues are shared equally. The Cleveland Browns are making money going 1-15.
Welcome to the real world of the NFL. |

People in the seats are pocket change to the owners. TV contracts = $$$$$$$$$$$$ in the bank.

My guess is that Brees and Payton want to stay for 3 or 4 more years. |

Saints go 7-9 again and one or the other if not both are gone. Can't see us going 7-9 though. |

I hope they stay along until I see improvement and we are winning. Anything less than that at this point and I'm ready to move on. |
Re: Could this be the Saints' last season with Drew Brees and Sean Payton?
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.......

I think SP is responsible for more of the D's failings than we know, 4 DC's in 5 years is not great. |
Re: Could this be the Saints' last season with Drew Brees and Sean Payton?
Brees would have to have a serious injury or the worst season of his career for us to let him walk. I could see a 2 year 40 million contract next year. He would be around for 3 years total breaking every qb record out there. All except farve into record lol. The city and team need Brees. He is the face of both and will be for years to come.

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

Payton has finally decided to stick with a DC. THAT is a good thing. Although, Gregg Williams had to go. So did Ryan. It is time to stick with Allen. |

See an awful lot of Saints shirts all around the country with name Brees on them. His personality and work ethics have made him a bit of a legend in this sport. I agree with those who say he retires a Saint and heads to a
Governors job in some West Coast State. |

Passing yards and completion percentages does not determine one's greatness over the other. Brees simply has to win two more SBs to be better than Rodgers. |
