The Saints normally know all of these changes well ahead of the public. I am sure they are prepared to deal with this.

Mid 30s and had a bad concussion last year. It sucks but I can’t blame him

I’m just going to pretend like this was going to be the year that he dropped off and started sucking anyway. No one can change my mind. La la la can’t hear you

Don’t think Cam Tom is it

We will be just fine. We have two young guys ready to fight for the position in Clapp and Tom plus we get $9 million more in cap space to help fill needs. The Saints are notorious for finding good linemen late in the draft. I wish Unger nothing but the best. Hope he enjoys retirement on his ranch in Hawaii.

We get 7 mill and we have a second round pick in a draft with not many good centers.

Wut

No no no. Center is arguably the most important position on the line. Brees is shite any time there’s pressure from the interior

This ain’t that hard to comprehend! Unless there’s a sudden tragedy or unexpected, the staff is mostly prepared for losses. Just because news/media outlets don’t give fans immediate news on replacements doesn’t mean the staff ain’t got a plan in place.

The mobile guys with big arms can roll out and escape, throw on the run

Brees does his damage from the pocket, and his height doesn’t do him any favors when the pocket is collapsing
