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?

Yeah and that's the thing... almost every year I hear how the Saints are in cap hell and yet every year, Loomis finds a way to make it work.

Uh, do you realize that one year deals literally destroys your salary cap. Its not a five year deal for 30 per year, which we can structure etc.

frick man.

We couldve signed him to a 3 to 4 year deal a few years and have flexibility, etc. But no, Drew is getting one year deals because blah blah, doesn’t know how long he’ll keep playing.

Its Farve all over again. Packers cut ties when they had to for a reason. Also Rodgers was ready to take over. Took a few years to develop and then bam,they looked like geniuses.

I think Teddy is ready. Pay him a reasonable deal, unless Drew will take one.

We wont tho. Drew’s playing better than Farve was and Sean wont betray Drew.

Ehhh. Drew is still elite. So Im good. But the future is being compromised dont lie to yourselves.

Cap goes up every year.

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?

The people that are all on board with bringing Drew back: Do you realize that we already will be paying Drew $21M, plus let's say it is $28M bringing his total to $49M? $49M for any player, let alone the 2020 version of Drew Brees is a terrible plan

They can kick the $21mil further down the road when we don't have a really good roster and aren't competing.

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.

Kick the can down the road

They already paid him that $21 million, do you even know how the cap works? Even a little bit? He won’t be making $49 million this year....

Whether he already has that $21M in his hand or not does not is irrelevant since it will indeed count against the 2020 cap. You cannot give him another $28M without probably having at least $10M of that adding to his existing cap putting him at roughly $30M and again putting a shite ton of dead money to the following year for a player that likely would not even be on the roster

We've made the playoffs a few years in a row, that's real good, lots of teams cannot say that, but we've still ultimately failed our final goal. Keep doing what you always do and you'll get what you always got. We cannot keep kicking dead money to the next year when we have team that is just a few pieces away from being in the Super Bowl with or without Drew Brees

After seeing Brees in that suite last night I fully support giving him 3 years $100 mill
