I think people are underestimating cousins a bit in this thread. He's not Brees but since the "you like that " game he had been one of the better qbs in the NFL through last season. He's not on the Brees, manning, Brady, Rodgers level but the guy can ball and would likely do very well in the dome with Payton.

Just how much do you intend to spend on the QB spot?

If Drew Brees leaves after this year (i.e., we don't restructure his deal), the Saints are left with $18,000,000 in dead cap space tied to Brees without him playing for the Saints.

POTENTIAL OUT: 2018, 2 YR, $44,250,000; $18,000,000 DEAD CAP

The contract has already voided the last 3 seasons, and, because we're prohibited from using the franchise tag, we need to renegotiate with Brees essentially closer to the open market than ever before.

I'm sure it'll be a sensible deal.

Yes, i would trade a 39 year old Brees for a 29 year old Cousins.
