He's basically in a no win situation. His team is in rebuild mode, his weapons and blockers are being shipped off and if he waits till next year, teams like Ny, buffalo, Arizona, are probably going to look for a young QB next offseason since they have stop gap QBs already. Denver could get desperate and get Brees if Manning retires but his options are majorilly limited and injury concerns could come back if his line is dismantled. I for one would give our first next year since Brees is good for a good 2-3 years.

Re: I cant see Brees staying
I think we Need to figure out a way to get brews to buffalo. It would take contract restructuring to fit his cap hit and probably redo his contract to give him more bonus. I would give out second this season and a later round pick next season. He is still an elite qb. The bills would be a top team in the league withy our current weapons on offence and nasty DComment

Re: I cant see Brees staying
Well, I can't see Brees leaving the Saints.
Who would the Saints replace him with?
And how would the Saints be able to sell that to the fans?
The Stadium would be EMPTY.Comment

Re: I cant see Brees staying
And the situation in N.O. is CRAZY.
His children are trying to have the Saints owner, 87 year old Tom Benson, declared mentally incompetent because he changed his will, naming his now wife as the heir to his estate & cutting out his children.
Thank God we didn't have to go through this in Buffalo with Ralph.Last edited by better days; 03-13-2015, 06:26 AM.Comment

We had to go through an ordeal when Ralph died, but it was a fairly smooth transition from the Wilson to the Pagula family.
It is going to be a LONG drawn out HOT MESS in New Orleans before that team has stable ownership again.Comment

Re: I cant see Brees staying
Brees doesn't have a choice and The Saints asking price is probably going to be a first round pick, players, and possibly more picks.Comment

Ralph didn't write his kids out of his will for some gold digging floozy. Ralph ensured the Bills would stay in Buffalo.Originally posted by USC_Gamecock View Post
I really don't know what else you wanted the guy to do. His situation is nowhere near the same as the one in New Orleans.Comment

Re: I cant see Brees staying
A 2nd this year and a 1st next year is as high as I'd go. They can have our 1st from 2013 as well.Comment

Re: I cant see Brees staying
And then you would pay Brees $20 Mill per year on top of that.Originally posted by Don't Panic View Post
Thanks, but no thanks.
Brees is still a good QB, but he is not $20 Mill good.Comment

Re: I cant see Brees staying
would you have let kelly go for a 2nd round pick and next year's plus a wide out in 1994/95? you would have considered that highway robbery.
Brees is structured to be in NO until the end of his career, or the team will cut him if he doesn't restructure.
if the latter occurs, we can have him for a lower contract and give up nothing. I'd do that.
but i am not keen on giving up picks for a team that still needs to get to the playoffs. if we were already a playoff team that showed some promise, i'd say go all in and win now. but we don't really know what we have. just adding expensive pieces doesn't necessarily matter.Comment

Re: I cant see Brees staying
This team with Brees and some good luck in the draft for OL, could be a legit Super Bowl contender, and would be well worth giving up next year's #1 for.
That being said, I don't think there's any way the Saints let him go for that little.Comment
