Too much dead money being pushed into the future. $18 mil over three year after this current contract is up. And it might be $9 mil x 2 & not $6 mil x 3 when that dead money hits the cap, I am not sure which when it comes to automatically voided years.
Brees is still a good QB, but he is personally killing the future of that team.
And no, QBR should never be looked at as legit or used to measure QBs.
Well he's the one person they've spent money on that's deserved it there.
Having a 20 mil cap hit to Brees isn't the issue. It's having a 35 million dollar cap hit for Galette, Bunkley, Lewis, Evans, Browner, Colston and Hawthorne.
You make choices that badly it doesn't matter if you have a QB on a rookie deal, your situation sucks.
That's the one thing that has me thinking keeping Brees may not be a bad idea... If he's the only thing they are doing right, what good is more picks or more free agent busts going to do for them?
Saw something today about just how bad the Saints D was last year. I had already seen plenty of how historically bad they were, where you could argue they weren't just the worst last year, but worst in over a decade to play in the NFL. But DVOA is one measure for defenses based on who you play. IE stopping the Panthers offense is better than stopping Clevelands.. Anyways, Saints of course are 32nd there. Bears are 31st. Bears are closer to the Pats at 12th than the Saints at 32nd. It's just an insane outlier how bad that defense was last year and it showed.
