Fact:
Sean Payton is already on record stating they see NO DECLINE in Brees performance.

Fact:
Brees successor is not on the roster right now.

Fact:
If we franchise Brees next year.... we must pay him over $43 million dollars a year as we've franchised him 2x before.

My Opinion:
They are preparing the masses for the time when they MUST pay a really large amount of money in a new contract for Brees (probably $30 million a year).

Fans will immediately question how can we build a "team" and sign free agents when we are paying one player $30 mil all by himself.

But....Brees will be paid. Saints have no choice.

We dont want Brees hurt....no one is waiting for him to be hurt this year.

Without Brees and with our current QB situation....we are a 4 win team.

Brees and his Agent have got the Saints over a barrel and can squeeze to their hearts content.

False

This team will have to move on from Brees sooner rather than later...age is definitely a factor. Brees is the greatest player to ever wear the Black & Gold but all good things come to an end. If they can sign him for a reasonable number, great. If he wants $65 to $70M guaranteed money, you have to let him go. IMO
