Re: Barry Hirstius: Should Saints Break the Bank to Pay Teddy B?
No. I think Payton kept him on a tight leash and played him safe and he did a great job with that. I’m just not convinced he can deliver if he had an open play book and the game was squarely on his shoulders. No matter how good a team as a whole is eventually a game will come down to the QB getting them out of a tough spot. I just haven’t seen that intensity from him yet.

Unless we're counting on Easton at LG, who's been inactive for several games this season, we have no LG under contract either... Vonn Bell, Eli Apple, David Onyemata are not under contract for 2020 - tough to consider with only just under $26mil of cap space to get all that done... |

As for replacing Peat, who's to say we don't find another McCoy type success to plug in at LG? It is nowhere near as bleak as a quick glance at raw numbers may appear. Loomis has been one of the few visionaries that has always factored in future cap growth into his deals. |

Sure it can all be restructured and the debt moved forward on future teams, but the numbers cited are legit... And to be fair, never said it was bleak, just presented the check book and balance sheet as it currently stands... From those numbers, folks are informed of the team's room to work within in deciding who stays and who goes... Or rather who is most affordable, effective for the buck - but we will see good players leave and possibly compensatory picks... |

Oh, and when was the last time we got a compensatory pick? :D Oh, and I am a fan of spotrac.com for my cap tracking needs. |

That’s a bad practice for a few reasons: - It’s bad form to hang one mans future off another mans “intention”. Teddy doesn’t deserve to have Drew decide his future and Drew doesn’t deserve to have that weight put on him. - If anyone could reliably understand another persons intentions, there would be no divorces, no parolees going back to prison. Think the Colt’s knew they understood Luck’s intentions? Teddy is not the Saints future QB, the Dolphins offered him at most 12.5MM and I suspect if any team would think Teddy their future they would have stolen him at 15/Year. If anyone im the Saints organization thought Teddy was the future they would have tied him up for 5 years at a cheap price and left him backup until he started. QB will be a yearly contract until Drew retires, the organization trades him, or someone offers him a deal he can’t refuse. Oh and to the original question... No |

I think everyone is overlooking that this is also Taysom's last year on his current contract. He'll want to get paid too.
