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.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
