re: Those opposing Brees making 28-30 Million a year: Do you realize

I really don't understand why people get so worked up over how much teams pay players. For one thing, it;s not your money. For another, when have the Saints ever not been able to go sign somebody they really wanted because of how much they were paying someone else?

Hey I’m all for giving him what he’s asking IF Mickey can pull it off without hurting the franchise pocket book.

I'm not opposed to paying players what they deserve. But you do realize that the reason QBs are making so much money is because of the likes of Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith, and many other mediocre QBS getting paid 25+ Million in offseason bidding wars between bad teams.
Then, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and the guys that deserve that kind of money end up making more than that bc of the bad contracts of bad teams on average QBs. This cycle is what needs to stop.

It’s not what they make, but how does it effect us signing or keeping players. We have a ton of contracts coming up (Kamara, Lattimore, Rankins, Ramczyk, etc.).

Malcolm Jenkins, Darren Sproles, Carl Nicks, Lance Moore?

Say what you will about whether the Saints should pay Brees. I personally think they should for a lot of reasons.
But your argument is one of the worst I’ve seen. The salary cap is a real thing. I’m really not sure how anyone wouldn’t realize that.
