Exactly. Brees’s contract is the only thing keeping Mickey Loomis from signing the entire 2010 Pro Bowl roster every offseason.

Cheers brother. I lived in New Orleans as a kid and my earliest memories include watching the Saints on a small fuzzy black and white television with aluminum foil on the antenna. Although we moved away when I was 8 I’m loyal to a fault, so this team is my lot in life.

Say what you will about Brees and the absurd manner in which the Saints have worked to accommodate his paycheck, but at least he’s there and playing. The Saints are carrying millions in dead money for players who haven’t played in NO for years, no?

It’s probably time. If Brees walks, Payton may well want to as well, and then we enter a full-on rebuilding phase that’s probably in some ways overdue.

The Lions have beaten the Saints 3 straight years in a row
