Let Brees walk after 17 & sign Cousins

If the Redskins let Cousins play this year out. I think our realistic best option for our team is to sign Cousins.
Would be a pretty easy transition with not much drop off imo

Cousins is not and never will be on the same level as Brees. If we are going to pay for a good QB I want the best one for my money and its Brees.

Get ready bc anything related to brees getti g traded (if he lifts his clause), not resigning, retiring, anything related to him not being in NO...the fanatics here don't wanna hear that.

This is a great idea! Very smart; I'm on board.

If Brees did leave, and we got Cousins, it would be making the best of a bad situation. The best option is to keep Brees as long as he wants to play.

You're aware that short of Kirk Cousins falling off a cliff, he's gonna probably demand a deal in the neighborhood of $100 million right?

And why let Brees walk to play a much lesser QB at the same price? No thanks

Boogie could see over the line at least

Pass. Have another down vote.

You're in for a serious dose of reality when Drew Brees leaves.

I think people are underestimating cousins a bit in this thread. He's not Brees but since the "you like that " game he had been one of the better qbs in the NFL through last season. He's not on the Brees, manning, Brady, Rodgers level but the guy can ball and would likely do very well in the dome with Payton.

Just how much do you intend to spend on the QB spot?
If Drew Brees leaves after this year (i.e., we don't restructure his deal), the Saints are left with $18,000,000 in dead cap space tied to Brees without him playing for the Saints.
Sportrac
The contract has already voided the last 3 seasons, and, because we're prohibited from using the franchise tag, we need to renegotiate with Brees essentially closer to the open market than ever before.
I'm sure it'll be a sensible deal.

Yes, i would trade a 39 year old Brees for a 29 year old Cousins.
