re: The incompetence of the Saints front office is mind-boggling

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)
