Also, how does to affect the 2016 cap if he signs and does that give us more cash for a last minute OL signing?


Sign who? We'd have to trade, and that'll be hard to do with week one right there.

But IF we save anything this year we can always carry it over to next year.

Good luck with that. Less years will increase the per year asking price.

Again sign who? Who is left at guard to sign?

And the Brees deal ain't getting done this quick. It will be last minute or not at all so a trade now is extremely unlikely.

Why not sign for 4 years/$80million so we can add some talent around him to try and get another super bowl???

Then pay him $100 million for 4 years or let him walk. I'd love for him to retire a saint and break all the passing records as a saint AND win another super bowl

Well there's what we want and then what reality is.

Why not sign him for 80 years at the minimum? May as well have said that.

Trade, dude.

So again, sign who? We have no room to trade for Leary and Brees' deal is going to be last minute. Maybe we'll trade for him at 10:00 on Sunday?

Maybe, but maybe we just made this cut knowing Brees's agent would agree to the 4/100 numbers and they are getting their ducks in a row to make a trade.

I'd rather pay 3 years 75, but I could live with 4/100 if we had to.

The Brees thing has jack to do with making room. It was ALWAYS going to happen now and be done by Saturday/very early Sunday if at all.

Brees said he wants to be signed before week one or table it until after the season. If we table it it will cost us a lot more. We need to get it done now.

roger godell does not care about player safety. roger godell should have told the saints you have to draft an offensive lineman instead of stripping the pick altogether when he punished the saints. because he took the draft pick that could have been used to protect brees roger godell does not care about drew brees safety.

Probably no real difference between the two. I can't see him playing for us at 41.

Yeah we all know Brees said that.

I don't think the Saints are set with the OL if they can do something or they would not have tried to get Sitton in here.

Who knows, guess we will see.

Sitton was a special case (a pro bowler who was surprisingly cut).

If they really wanted Leary they would have traded for him a while ago to get him into the system.

Trading for him now puts him way behind and he likely doesn't start for a few weeks.

Based on the preseason games having Leary on the roster even at the last minute is better than what we have now.

Also, does it take a lineman 2 weeks to know his assignment for a new team? Not like you are throwing a new playbook at a WR or QB.

Is there anyone out there that you think we will go after, Bone?
