Could Drew finally get a threatening defense?

Saints were pretty close to the nfccg last year. Maybe they're just going to ball out and try for one last ring.

What's the worst that could happen? 7-9 and in cap hell again?

Give Drew a sendaway Super Bowl win or two and let him retire like Elway.

ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
39 year old QB who still plays like a Pro Bowler? Of course you blow up the cap for a two year run.

Also no guarantee that Kamara is good in 3-4 years anyway. RBs sometimes explode after 1-2 great seasons.

Yeah I agree. They're going to have to strip a lot bare once breesus hangs em up. I'd break the bank too.

I still think the Saints either move up or hope the QB of the future comes down to them in Rodgers style and pick one in the first round. I think unless we get a TE in FA, a TE in the first is another option, but I could see Drew telling Sean Payton to go ahead and pick up the QB of the future now. Problem is, I don't know what they could give besides a Ditka style trade to move up significantly. Maybe Mark Ingram (not that I'd want that)?

Have there been any rumors about qbs the Saint are interested in? Thought I heard grumblings about Mayfield saying the Saints were showing him a lot of interest.

I doubt baker is around barring some blockbuster trade. Rosen seems like the type to take a tumble draft day though.

That's the one I've heard the most, although I've seen Lamar Jackson to them at 27 in a few mock drafts.

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

I’d be happy with Jackson, Rosen or Mayfield, if any of them drop to the Saints.

The Fusco signing from what I have read should be an upgrade over Wes...but losing Poe and Clay is gonna suck if they don't know the draft outta the park.
