You missed the point where we NEED to win this year to have a chance at keeping Brees.
No, I get that and I already said it's a valid argument. But Tom Brady is older than Brees and the Pats are evidently going to let Butler walk rather than pay him. In fact, they preferred to pay FA money to Stephon Gilmore rather than Butler. So they'll get a 1st round pick as compensation and choose a more cost effective CB to replace Butler in a draft that is the deepest CB class in a decade. There's a reason the Pats contend for the Super Bowl every year and the Saints have only been once in 50 years. This trade is a good example.

The simple question of why didn't the Pats sign him long term instead of Gilmore off the street is HUGE to me. Many questioned some holes and erraticness in Gilmore's game. Yet the Pats, who do not spend that heavily too often on FA, chose him over Butler.



The Saints should sit on this statement offering a second round pick to NE and 11.5 to Butler. Recite it to both parties if either balk at the offer. Stand firm, don't give in, and fricking use the 32 on a corner if they walk away from the table. I'd be totally ok with it.
