re: "Brees got all the $, so none left for offensive lineman".... True or False?

Partially true/false. We still have the cap room to sign good players and pay our rookies. Problem is it basically leaves no margin for error. If you miss on other contracts, you are screwed. You also have to draft really well. Our D is good because we have drafted well and signed solid FA's. We have done poorly on the O side and it is catching up. Once Graham gets on his new contract, we will even be in a more can't miss situation.

Having a great QB comes with a cost. As well as Loomis has done, he will have to do even better we have any chance of winning another SB.
