I have a few issues with Brees' contract. And the first issue is exactly how it's going to affect this ballclub in the next two years. His cap hit is $26.4 mil next year ($14.8mil dead money) and $27.4 mil in 2016 ($7.4 mil dead money).
Which is why we'll extend him at the same rate this offseason

. Look at Jahri Evans' contract. Cap hit of around $11 mil the next three years. Ben Grubbs has a cap hit of around $10 mil the next two years.
We save $6 million by cutting Evans and $3.6 million by cutting Grubbs

They inexplicably gave Junior Galette the contract he now has. He's a cap hit of almost $16 mil next year.
How is that inexplicable?

The big contracts being sucked up by a select few on this roster meant that we could not keep players like Darren Sproles, who has, in turn, made the Saints look like the chumps they are this season.
No, we made a choice there. We could have easily kept him if we wanted to. We chose other players over him.

It's probably what Loomis will have to do, which is certainly not ideal for an aging quarterback.

And replace them with _______ that have been groomed?

Because they gave an outstanding contract (for him, that is) to a player with one good season who still had another year on his original contract.

No, the Saints SOLD it to us that his best years were behind him, which we now know was a bunch of bullshite, and that we were just ready to move on. Or maybe they really believed that. Shame on them if true.
Sproles was a "luxury" we couldn't afford. Now he's off being dynamic for another team, while dynamics is one of the many things missing from this once-great offense.
