Not saying anything myself, just thought fans would like the read:

BROOKS GETTING THE BOOT?



We've been aksing league insiders for all of the offseason whether the Saints will be marching out quarterback Aaron Brooks, whose release would result in a net cap gain for Nawlans, given his 2005 salary.



And with the team's selection of former FSU quarterback Adrian McPherson, our guess is that the Saints will give McPherson every chance to show that he can become the quarterback that Brooks never became.



Brooks has been inconsistent at best, mediocre at worst since emerging as "the guy" with the Saints during the 2000 season. After winning a camp battle with Jeff Blake in 2001, Brooks held out for a new deal in 2002 -- and in the three seasons since he hasn't exactly earned all of those dollars that had to be pried out of owner Tom Benson's fingers.



So if McPherson, Florida's first and only "Mr. Football" and "Mr. Basketball" and an emerging star who got run out of Tallahassee in the wake of gambling allegations, can show the Saints a little somethin'-somethin' before September 1, we wouldn't be surprised to see Brooks' name in the final transaction report before opening day, when his entire 2005 salary will otherwise become guaranteed.
