Other guys can step up on the O-line. Would you really rather have Lance Moore, Devery Henderson and Meachem as basically our only receivers? Once teams started covering Graham and Sproles on 3rd down, Brees would go to Colston. We need him and can sign him with a higher probability we could land a pass rushing DE

Other guys can "step up", but no one can replace Nicks. Not only would losing him hurt our passing game, but also our screen game (I know you've seen the Dancing Bear demolish people) and the run game. He's suburb at both. Like someone else pointed out, he's THE BEST linemen in the league.

And Graham and Sproles. With our current OL, Brees throws for 35/10 + 4500 yards with that group. We can take a chance on a guy like Steve Smith Eagles (god I love him) or Braylon Edwards, or even Deshaun Jackson, guys that had dissapointing seasons and would love to take a 1 year deal with a guy like Brees. Give Brees time and things will happen.

I say resign our guys and frick this pipe dream of signing a high priced DE when we already have a crap load of money invested at DE. Find some decent priced 3rd down pass rusher(a Turk McBride who actually does something) and stick with that. We were a minute from hosting the NFC championship, no reason to be doing major overhauls.
