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.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
