I wish I could know if Brees retiring will make us look less attractive to free agents.

How many free agents (offense and defense) have you heard say that Brees was a factor in their signing? I can't remember any that didn't mention that as at least one reason. I can't see it not having an impact. How much of one waits to be seen. This is a concern I believe I have mentioned here in the past. It all comes back around to his leadership, or now lack thereof.

Interesting. Sucks to lose him, but its pretty clear that will be the case. Good for him to cash in.

Loved what we saw out of him last year. I'd feel a lot worse about this if he had showed up vs Tampa in the playoffs

Carl Granderson will occupy Trey's slot.

It may not show with sacks, but he's more than capable of getting in the backfield. Probably more so than TRex.

I agree. Hendrickson was the recipient of the pressure put on by others. It was the perfect storm for him. I would be willing to bet he doesn't reach that sack total again.

Let's test that short-term memory - TE Jared Cook? WR Emmanuel Sanders? RB Latavius Murray? WR Dez Bryant?

Or maybe longer term memory - RB Darren Sproles? WR Cameron Meredith?

And you do the work, go back and you'll find words like opportunity...play with ...Drew...Brees or some combination therein...

I'm sure that our team is still a free agents dream team. We are solid from the top down and The Saints are family owned and we have values. Great ownership, management, coaches and players make this a desirable destination. This team knows how to win and everyone wants to play with a winner!
