Well with that said. If Brees can't give us that 2nd Superbowl title after paying out top dollar at the qb. position it wouldn't matter anyway. Now do you think N.E. would keep paying Brady without all those trophies, I bet B.B. would trade him just like he usually does with aging players but since he has produced (5) it's justified. Been a long time since 2009 with the teams we fielded.

No. Because Brady is still playing at a very high level, just as is Brees. The one key player hardest to replace is QB, which I know you know. Our best possible chance in the near future of another championship involves Brees. I can't imagine another scenario that would work.

Give Sean Payton truth serum.... He’d roll with Baker Mayfield over Drew Brees. Sean’s been infatuated with Johnny Manziel since A&M Days. And his new QB crush is Baker Mayfield. It’s a joke amongst other coaches/ execs.

You don't replace a QB who is still putting up Hall of Fame numbers and has always worked with the team to keep money available for players through a restructured deal. He will earn every penny we pay him and then some. It is not his fault Loomis loves to back load contracts.

I just have a bad feeling about Drew. No way it should take this long. Monday he can start talks to other teams and Wednesday we get a 18 million capbhit reguardless.

I think Brees will be here still... But I’m getting very, very nervous that we’re going to trade up for Mayfield.

That’s what has me thinking more lol. Mayfield has been described as the next Drew. I just want to keep the Drew we have!

Drew is not taking a pay cut. Market value. We have to wait for some other deals to pan out to see his market value. Will someone offer more? Yes! Someone will offer more. Will we match it. Yes. To a point. If it exceeds that point then we are probably blowing the draft on a QB. Pretty much have to do it at that point.

Problem is we can’t wait until a few others set the market. Drew has to be signed by Tuesday night or we get an 18 million cap hit no matter what. Even if Drew signs some where else we still have 18 mil I’m dead cap. He has the saints by the balls. I feel he signs by Monday or he’s gone. Really expect him to sign with all the “ Saint for life” talk he’s done.

I just don't see him making any deal without knowing market value. If he has us by the balls I don't see that changing. Love the guy but he should be paid what he is worth or more. Nothing less. I feel this way about all players. They should NEVER take a pay cut. He has earned whatever someone is willing to pay.
