The saints are _73 million dollars_ over the 2021 cap. The could cut drew brees, Terron Armstead, Malcom Brown, Nick Easton, marshown lattimore, janoris jenkins, taysom hill, Ryan Ramcyk, and cameron jordan and still be over the cap.

Hasn’t Drew Brees said he’s retiring after this year?

He has said that like every year for the last 3. But with how they just spent money I think they really believe him because this entire team is getting torn down to the studs after this year.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Brees got a dummy cap year and a contract with NBC Sports when he retires. This is his last ride losing in the playoffs in hilarious fashion

Saints have a lovely schedule, and even though they seemingly play all their hard games at home, I don't see how they'll get homefield throughout in the playoffs with the Bucs and Falcons sitting there.

I want the saints to win the wildcard and have to go to like green bay in the first week of hte playoffs during a covid blizzard. Brees has a Dan Marino-esque last game then gives corona to all his little future chud kids.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29871858/sources-tom-brady-was-new-orleans-saints-backup-plan-drew-brees-retired-offseason

quote:

Had Drew Brees retired after last season, as the Saints believed he might, New Orleans' backup plan was to sign Tom Brady -- and he was interested in going there, league sources told ESPN.

In the opinion of sources close to the situation, a union between Brady and the Saints was more realistic than many realized -- and it was an option up until the days before free agency opened, despite Brees' previous public comments in mid-February that he was committed to playing in 2020.

Saints coach Sean Payton and Brady share a respectful relationship, and the Saints believed they could land Brady, according to sources.

But the idea of the move was contingent on Brees retiring, which he ultimately opted against doing this year. New Orleans' wait to pursue Brady lasted until mid-March, shortly before Brees finally agreed to sign a two-year, $50 million deal on March 13. Four days later, Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reached agreement on a two-year, fully guaranteed $50 million deal.

But in the days leading up to both deals, there was discussion in the Saints' organization about how the former New England Patriots quarterback could fit into New Orleans' offense, according to sources.

At the time, Brees was considering television offers, including the one that he ultimately accepted from NBC to become an analyst for the network whenever he finished playing. But Brees gave consideration to starting his TV career this season.

The Saints were not the only team interested in Brady, as the Los Angeles Chargers expressed interest and had conversations with the six-time Super Bowl champion, and the Miami Dolphins also expressed interest and made a late run, although those talks never progressed.

Today is the day Joe burrow ascends to his rightful place. Hope for a long rule. Dalton came in the lockout shortened offseason, Burrow brought plague.


The next Bengals QB will probably set off the Dakota supervolcano at that rate of escalation. May Joe play for 30 years.

This seems like the type of decision you can't give to the player. He might feel pressured, he might be insane, either way just tell him he can't go today.

Brady will face Brees for the fourth different decade (if you count 2020 and not 2021) since they both played against each other for the first time in 1999 (Purdue vs. Michigan) :corsair:
