First of all, Brees is in the final year of his deal, so no one will give up a ton for a one year rental.

Second of all, Denver has $5m in cap space. Brees has a $20m base salary. Tell me how Denver frees up $15m in cap space over the next two weeks.

Other than that, great thread.

Elway would not trade more than one #1 pick for Brees.

The Broncos (football team)

Don't have the cap space (max $$ team can have committed in a season)

To take on Drew's contract ($20m in 2016)

Easy enough

You realize Brees has to agree to the deal

So he's going to sign an extension, with no signing bonus, while also taking a pay cut in 2016



You're an idiot

depends on what you can get. I'd say do it. This year is a bust. The shitty talent evaluation has caught up to the team. I love Drew but man he's gonna get killed this year. Trade him and tank

Grayson is showing us all right now that he's ready to step up. Trade Brees for a defense pass rush stud and start the rebuild.

Right?

AMIRITE?

A couple of 1s and some 2s maybe a player or two.


I'd be down for just Von Miller and their 4th round pick
