i have doubt of putting so much money into guards as well. but part of the reason brees can be so great is because of his ability to step up into the pocket. say we resign brees, but the line crumbles. what have we solved?

Totally agree.

Everyone who talks about putting too much money into guards doesn't realize the importance of the guards in our offense.

I'd argue they are much more valuable than our tackles, and teams never hesitate to shell out big bucks for bookend tackles.

I agree with all that but Saints will not outbid the NFL for Nicks. And we let Goodwin walk (who's in the middle) walk over a lot less last year.

This. If we've got Brees behind an amazing oline the rest of our offense could be the 7 dwarfs and it'd be the best in the NFL.
