Yeah I've found that buying into sports journalism twitter hype is always underwhelming.

Would be cool to get Honeybadger though. Graham was good but not sure he's gonna be the same as he was now so I can't really get all that excited about it.

I've always loved Jonathan Stewart. Classic north/south guy, great moves, incredible strength, always gaining tons of yards after contact. Good end-zone jumps too.

ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
There’s nothing more frustrating than having a division rival have a Hall of Fame caliber QB. It’s like it doesn’t matter what else happens, the Saints are always one good Free Agent or one good draft class away from reloading for another Super Bowl run. And in the year 2018, apparently QBs can now play into their 40s at a high level...

While I'd like to see Matthieu in a Saints uniform, all the toxic relationships that ruined his college career are over here in New Orleans. It's probably best for him to stay the gently caress away from this town.

Good. I wouldn't want Drew's final (terrible) years in any other jersey!

Yeah, they decided not to use their franchise tag this year at all. I'm honestly ok with it since Star has had a tough couple of years, but I hope Vernon Butler is ready for primetime in his stead (he won't be :suicide: )

lol, this is actually a bargain for a starting QB in 2018, much less a HoF caliber starting QB. You can cut him next year for nothing.

Yeah like, if he breaks his arm or some poo poo. Point is you've got him this year at a decent price and next year for less if you want to keep him, and if you don't want him for whatever reason, he's gone.

I guess the 27m could be a signing bonus and his cap hit this year is only like 13.5 million and next year they can post-june 1st his rear end and pay him 7.5 over the next 2 seasons.

He carries a $6m cap hit already for the next 3 seasons, so add $6m on top of his yearly and you get his actual number.

Thank you Drew.

quote:

Talked more with Saints QB Drew Brees about his new deal: “There was no doubt in our minds, I think both myself and the Saints, that we were gonna get a deal done. It was just a matter of what was the most fair deal for me and for the team to put us in the best position to succeed in the near future.” Brees said he would be “lying” if he didn’t admit it’s hard to decide between taking max value and keep raising the bar for other players (especially as a former NFLPA leader). “But for me this was about putting our team in the best position to go win a championship in the next few years.” And he practically apologized to agent Tom Condon for not allowing him to max out his value – which certainly would have been more on the open market.

Damnit, that probably means Dickson is going to Atlanta since he was linked to GB.

I dunno what is worse...the thought of Jimmy back in NO or the thought of Ed Dickson, Atlanta Falcon.
