I guess he figures with Brees gone down the road, he better at least get the big bucks when the losing starts 

The Saints turned off cap mode so they'll be able to sign him for whatever they want, as long as they want.

Hopefully they'll do it and put themselves in cap hell for 5 years or so.

Well, whenever Brees retires, they have little to no hope of being able to afford a reasonable NFL QB. Should be fun to see them try and draft a new franchise QB for the next several years.

We obviously don't have an answer for Michael Thomas, so I'd rather he not be locked up for the future. I've been thinking Brees would get noodle arm for the past two seasons, and while he doesn't have as much arm strength it hasn't stopped him from carving us up.

I don't blame the Saints for being in win now mode. I actually wish we were in win now mode, but with Cam's shoulder it may be a moot point.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
