re: The good news, we found a formula for Brees to play another 3-5 years

Agreed. And don’t forget about Strief. I think Ramczyk has firmly established himself as the starter at RT, but Strief would be an excellent backup and would probably welcome that role. It would extend his career at this point and he’s always been a team guy and a leader, so he’s going to take a cut if they ask him. And try and keep Kelemete as well. He proved to be extremely valuable with all the injuries. Very pleased with the O-line. Just need more of em’.
