Drew's cap hit doesn't look that bad when you compare it to the rest of the league. Quarterbacks are expensive.

... and Trevor Simian for the win? Ridiculous cap figure! Is Denver winning any games this year with a QB with such a low cap?

Drew Is Not The Problem! You want to keep the face of the franchise as long as possible. Especially when he's still playing at an elite level.

The reason Green Bay traded Favre was because they had Rodgers waiting in the wings. We have know one behind Brees. Let the man finish his career a Saint.

We have problems, but Drew is not one of them. You guys think you're frustrated right now? Let Brees go next year and see what happens. It will be a long time before this team sees another QB like him, if ever (Dan Marino and Dolphins is a good example). Look at what happened with Hoyer and Osweiller. Green Bay is the outlier.

If we don't make the playoffs, it's time to move on. Four years is enough.

FIX the DEFENSE!!!!!! Welcome Back DREW!

I doubt it. They just want to give fans more to read about than how much we suck. He never talks contract during the season and the way this season is going, especially with the lack of protection or running game to take pressure off. I think it would be dumb for him to do so. UNLESS it has just become all about the money now and less so about the team and winning games.
I would put money on him not resigning. Especially if Payton is still here.
I do agree he is our best option. Nobody is going to come around that is any better in the near future.

Is it time to sign Drew and invest the picks in the first on a QB with the idea of trading Drew down the road if the ship does not right itself? It may take more than one first round pick over the years or just getting lucky

Could you live with Saints loading up on QBs in the draft?

Round 1
Mason Rudolph, QB Oklahoma State 6036 235 4.77 #2 Sr

or

Luke Falk, QB, Washington State 6032 214 4.87 #4 rSr

and later

Baker Mayfield QB Oklahoma 6002 220 4.64 #6 rSr

or

Keep an eye on the draft stock of
Nick Fitzgerald QB, Mississippi State 6042 227 4.68 #7 rJr

Know trading them is always an option never off the table. You are not married to these picks unless they are the answer. Pull a Pats stunt if not

Let the hunt begin and try to pull a Brett / Payton move down the road?

It's simple!! Ask "Cleveland, San Francisco, Jacksonville, Houston......."

Payton's an offensive genius! Just ask him!
