Saints** Believe They Deserve Extra Credit This Year So They Can Sign Brees

According to SI's Peter King, the Saints** "feel they should be credited for taking a medical risk" on unsigned franchise player Drew Brees in 2006.

With the sides mired in contract stalemate, the Saints** apparently believe they deserve a break for being the only team willing to give Brees $10 million per season as he was coming off shoulder surgery in 2006. That line of thinking is unlikely to move a player who hasn't missed a game with injury in six seasons in New Orleans.

Hahahahhahahahahahahahah...

Maybe I'm misinterpreting since there isn't a link, but what does that have to do with them saying they deserve more cap space to sign Brees? I think what the author is saying is that the Saints* think Brees should take less money because they took on a bigger risk in 2006. Either way it's dumb on their part since he vastly outplayed his contract, but the thread title is misleading.

They asking for cap space credit from what I understand (some teams got cap space credit this year). Saints* done restructuring every contract they possibly could and they cannot afford to sign Brees still. So they asking NFL for a credit so when they sign Brees, they could apply this credit against his total hit for this year. Example: if Brees new contract to account $15m against cap, they asking for $3m credit so Brees contract will account for only $12m instead of $15.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
