I'm not sure Brees is playing next season irregardless of the Wuhan Virus pandemic...

Could see them reworking his contract to spread out the cap hit, but just don't see him playing past this season...

What's really worrisome with the cap likely not increasing, we've yet to extend Ramczyk, Lattimore, Mr. Marcus, Kamara...

Then there's all three linebackers' contracts expiring; there's gonna be several painful decisions to be made...

And All this rolling debt forward that Loomis' has been praised will face the reality of the bill coming due...
