Man I think Id rather pay Bushrod than Kruger honestly. Keeping Brees upright if the top priority and I don't want to start messing with our rotation if we don't have to.

I agree that keeping Brees upright is priority. This is why I think Blues' idea is a decent one. Go get someone who can rush the passer that probably won't cost THAT much, at least relatively. Then go get a tackle who will probably be better than Bushrod. I know there's a chance the draft pick won't pan out, but I think it's a good chance he will. Typically, left tackles drafted in the 1st round don't do bad. Bushrod isn't bad, but he isn't that good either. He's average. I'd rather have someone protect Brees he is good, not just average.

THAT is my point. I'd rate Johnson as better than Bushrod right now. Better bang for the buck too at 1/3 or less of what Bushhog will cost.

It would be nice to keep Bushrod and move him to RT


Not too realistic. Once you get LT pay why would you accept going to RT? If not the Saints, some team will pay him $6-8mil a year to go LT.
