re: Saints new dynasty or one year wonder?

I think Brees really likes it here. Hopefully he's the type to take $15m a year when he could probably get $20m. Hell, if there's no cap I could see Snyder or Jones offering him $25m+.

Other than that, they have a young WR corps locked up for 3+ years, a very good young CB tandem for 3 years, and a very good middle Lb for 3 or 4 years who shouldn't start decling any time soon. If we extend Nicks, who will be the top player on their FA list IMO, we'll have a great young OG tandem for at least two more years.

The only problem potential problem spots over the next 3 years are LT (Brown will cost too much for his age/injury concerns, Bushrod is RFA, Streif I think is UFA), DE (Smith aging, Grant aging and sucking, McCray not being that good), S (I think they'll let Sharper walk in favor of extending Evans, maybe Bushrod and Brees), and RB (I like PT and Bell, but if they get $5m+ a year from someone, I say bid them adieu and target a RB in the middle rounds of the draft).
