re: Rumor: Brees to Tampa for No. 1 pick?

Only way I'd do this is if we got much more than just their first. In that case, I'd do it because we'll be rebuilding in a year or two anyway. I don't think Brees is coming back to the Saints regardless when his contract is up. Do the old Patriots move...offload veterans while they still have value. We could barely win with Brees last year...what makes anyone think that will change this coming season? We haven't made any moves in FA other than signing an injury prone RB who's inconsistent and got a great C. We're not historically good at drafting early. We have no LBs. We have no cap. I'd do it if Bucs were stupid enough to do something like give their draft away. At some point you're going to have to bite the bullet and say goodbye Brees. He has no weapons to throw to right now.
