re: On the heels of JG, is Brees safe?

A WR in TE’s clothing who can’t run block and had a large cap number is a luxury a 7-9 team with an aging HOF QB cannot afford, apparently. Looks like the overhaul is going to hit both sides of the ball.

Let’s look at the bright side: Brees is deadly accurate, and a more ball control run-friendly offense should suit him well moving forward.

Payton has had years of razzle-dazzle playcalling to show the entire football world how smart he is; I see this as a sign he’s focused on winning above all over the next two years (and I say “two years” because it’s far from a done deal that Brees reups at the end of this contract).
