you can not win when a player sucks up too much of the cap.

The Saints are $18 million in for Brees against the cap whether or not he's on the team or not in 2018. So while there is the issue of the cap, Brees' cost now for 2018 is only the marginal spending over $18 million. And restructuring can lower that number for Brees. But it cannot be lowered for anyone else.

The overall cap is growing at a greater rate than is Brees' salary. His percentage of cap is getting smaller and smaller. That said, average QB's (which most likely cannot lead a team to the championship) are now garnering more than Brees has been getting.

Nope, Drew, Brady and Rogers have never led their teams to a championship. Wait a minute............
