At the start of the season I said Dak would be our next Qb. I still believe it.

I’m not a cap expert, but I can’t see any way the Saints could afford a Prescott contract.

We take a huge cap hit with no corresponding player if Brees retires. No chance of bringing in ANY veteran QB with the reduced cap and Brees' dead money. Any other QB wouldn't be a shadow of Brees' current talent level.

Can’t be far off from what Drew is making.

If Brees retires we get hit with a $22.6 cap hit in guarantees/dead cap. If he returns that contract can be restructured. Prescott would demand over $30 million for sure.

Something has to give. Can’t have a 45 year old QB playing trying to get him a second ring.

If that 45 year old QB gives you a better shot at winning than someone else then what is the issue? Unless you're bored and want to return to the 6-10 years.

End of the season results matter. One lone SB win is starting to feel like ancient history.

Agree. Brees is still one of the best QBs in the game. I suspect the majority of NFL head coaches would give a first round pick and their left nut to have Brees behind center in 2021. We're spoiled by having had a GOAT in his prime. He may no longer be in his prime, but is he better than the alternative. That is the question.
