Is Drew Brees holding the saints hostage?

I get it but it's still being held hostage. The dead money will be there this season and next even signing a new deal. Just a little lower.

No, you don't get it, and many others commenting do not get it.

Drew is not holding anyone hostage. Is is not Drew Brees wanting Loomis to have 2020 in the contract, It is Loomis putting 2020 in to make cap space to sign Bridgewater.

The restructure to have 2020 in Drew's contract was Mickey ****ing Loomis.

Drew wants two things. 1. To play for the Saints. 2. To live in New Orleans.

We can be a fairly ****ed up fan base at times. We blame refs for our losses, we blame a QB for the structure of a contract, seems like we thoroughly enjoy playing the perpetual victim.

Drew will be our QB until we draft a successor (2 years)at which point we will have the last year of his contract and a rookie contract which will be very doable. We will not be in cap hell.

Side bar question ...

Assuming 2 Glove Teddy B leaves in Free Agency, any interest in bringing in former 1st rounder Marcus Marriota as back up? I'd like to see what a good OC could do with a young, talented player.

Not making excuses for Marcus but he's had 3 or 4 different offensive coordinators since entering the league in 2015.

It crossed my tiny mind. He was good enough to beat us as a rookie. But seems every rookie knows how to beat us.

My pick would be teddy lands in California a charger. Mariota would be to expensive though for a back up so I think we go like a colt mccoy on the cheap but usable if we keep taysom active in the playbook.

I think Teddy goes to Carolina...

Anyone think it’s odd that Drew hasn’t come out and said what he intends to do yet? I don’t think it’s unreasonable for him to wait a few months to see where his head is at, but usually Drew is pretty decisive, at least he was in past years.
