Wish Brees would take a pay cut to free up room for Watkins. Kid is a play maker when somebody can get him the ball. Can stretch the field too.

Don't know what the numbers look like though

Free agency will be more important for our win now window. We were spoiled this year with the rookies who contributed, but that is very rare in the NFL

We need a vet LB and WR at least. Rookie OL or TE can help early on

I think Payton has to find a way to talk Brees into a pay cut. One more super bowl is the pitch.

I would love it if we drafted Mark Andrews TE out of Oklahoma. Dude is an awesome pass catcher for a TE.


Guy from South Dakota State is better. Film don't lie

WR, TE, SS and LB are the needs if we resign Okafor

His name Gohert or something like that.....
He’s best pass catching TE in the Draft.

difference between cutting to $20 million from $30 gets you a lot of goodies


IF I was 35 and that good I would start taking a pay cut on the condition that I get to help pick with that money.

He’s 39. He needs to take the cut and go all in for the next 2 years.

It’s simple. Resign Drew for 2 years. Let Vaccaro go bc he wants too much. (We more than likely resign him tho) Breaux is a free agent you let him go just bc if his injuries. Fleener walks. Try and resign Kelemente and strief. And re sign okafor. In free agency and the draft you take. An opposite WR to Thomas. A pass catching TE. DT (if fairly can no longer play). Another pass rusher. Safety if Vaccaro goes. LB either middle or OLB. And the. A CB to replace Breaux with.

IDK about Vaccaro wanting too much, but I see us going in a different direction regardless

Some of y’all are forgetting that we were 1 more bad injury from being up shite’s creek with the O line.

We need to address depth issues there as well.

Our goal should be to sign our guys, then search for a WR option to replace Snead, and then find a playmaker in the front 7 on D... doesn’t matter what position.

2 solid utility OLine man is enough. Strief snd kelemente would be enough as good back ups. Don’t need to waste money on a back up

Resign Brees
Resign Okafor
Resign Te'o
Leave Ingram alone he has outperformed his current contract and has a year left he's more valuable than what we would get from him
Let Vacarro walk
Cut Fleener
Time to let go of Kikaha

Free agency target

Possession Receiver
Tight end
Linebacker

Draft targets
QB
Pass rusher
wide receiver
o-line depth
