The problem isn't Brees. It's drafting and bad free agent deals


100%

our free agent signings may somehow be worse than our drafting. just think about all the huge busts like byrd

i mean then we had the disaster of the offseason where we had to dump gallette and jimmy

our draft a few years ago may go down as one of the worst in NFL history

Brees himself is obviously fantastic and he's worth the price. Problem is, such a contract leaves less room for error with other players. And the Saints aren't good enough to operate with that small margin for error. They've missed on too many guys and lacked the money to make up for it.

his cap hit is minuscule to the dead cap that they have carried the last 3 years.

combine the money of useless scrubs like Grubbs, Lofton, Hawthorne, Byrd, Galette (post-cut), Browner, Bunkley, etc

it doubles if not triples Brees. We spent something like 30mil on 3-4 useless players in 2012 and gave each one 5 year contracts. That was an all-in move and got shitty players from it. 2 down LB (lofton), average LB (Hawthorne), average DT (Bunkley), and average G (Grubbs)
