We knew when the Saints gave Brees his contract three years ago, that the FO would have to be spot on with their FA's and extensions.

The problem is that they've failed miserably. The current roster contains few draft picks prior to this season's. And almost all of the larger contracts given by Loomis in the last few years have been huge mistakes. You mix that with the lack of development of players, especially on the defensive side, and you get the complete shite show that we currently have.

It's sobering to think of how much worse this team could be with a lesser talent at quarterback right now.

Browner's base salary is fully guaranteed, so we get no relief this season by cutting him.

In 2016, his $2.75m base salary is also fully guaranteed. Cutting him this season saves us a little under $1m in 2016. He would count $5.3m against the cap (dead money).


It's either cut him or make him inactive for the rest of his contract because he's a giant negative on the field. Yes more money down the drain but that's where we're at.

There should be ways around this. Should be able to opt out of contracts due to poor play.

Some types of pay for play clauses.

A lot of teams negotiate contracts with performance goals written in.

You just know Lyons went skipping out the locker room, so happy to write that story. The local media cannibalizes the Saints any chance they get due to their hatred of Payton

For the most part the local media is SUPER soft. Even Yellin's story on WWL's website is damn near apologizing for Browner.

did you watch the video?

i thought he told a pretty unbiased story. Browner doens't even come off that bad. I was expecting much worse reading some tweets

he has a little 5 min video on WWLTV.com site.

he only really addressed the issue because everyone else in the locker room started tweeting about it.

if you think what Nola.com writes about the saints is cannibalizing then i would hate to see what you consider what the daily news and post do to every NYC area team

Local press covering the black and gold are implicit. It's a sham.

We have an embarrassing local sports media covering the Saint's, and Pelicans, objectively and without bias.

Took frustrating loss out on reporter asking questions to another player. Berated guy with profanity and had to be escorted away by other players and staff. Nothing earth shattering.
