Putting moves into context

These moves don't make sense if the window for success like everyone here thinks is two years left of Brees. But what if Brees has said he will sign something like a 3 yr. 40 mil. Extension. Now all of a sudden the retool makes a lot more sense.

Cap room becomes more important

Multiple high draft picks become important.

Getting a lot younger becomes more important.

If the window is 5 years then these moves set up a larger window than we had before.
