re: Brees willing to restructure contract

Brees's situation isn't as big of a deal as some are making it out to be so long as the Saints are willing to suck for a year or two after he's done. They can just extend him into years that both sides know he won't be playing in, convert base salary over the next few years into signing bonuses that push guaranteed money into those "no way he plays" seasons, and just take a massive (say $20m) cap hit when they finally cut him. At that point they'll almost certainly have a QB on a cheap rookie contract that Drew has been mentoring, so you could just see it as paying our potential QB of the future Drew type money for a season in which we're probably going to suck anyway.
