Sports on Earth: How the Saints can win it all

Saints with a 1 point lead, with 2 minutes left at Cleveland.  Sean Payton and Rob Ryan barking at each other on the sideline. Always a good look.

ESPN / Football Outsiders (Insiders): The case for trading Drew Brees

http://insider.espn....-drew-brees-nfl

 

Should the Saints pull the trigger on trading Brees now they have moved Graham?

[Dupin]

Poor move for them. That entire offense had a bit of a down year. I don't think it's wise to part with a young matchup nightmare like Graham after one season. He seemed like a cornerstone of that offense.

New Orleans Sun Times: Rumors swirl of Brees to Tampa for 1st overall pick

http://neworleans.su...de-brees-jameis

[Mackus]

I don't really get why you'd extend a RB and then trade away an elite TE and elite QB.  I get rebuilding, and having 3 firsts including the top overall pick is a great way to kick-start a rebuild, but why sign a RB to a long-term deal if you're rebuilding?

 

Edit:  Actually, they didn't give Ingram much money at all.  4/$16M and he's easily cuttable after 2016 if need be.  And he's only gonna be 26 next season.

It makes sense for them to bite the bullet and retool instead of trying to fight the cap the next few years and try and squeeze blood from a rock.

People down here will be furious if Brees is traded though. Even beyond his status as GOAT Saint, his impact on the city is gigantic.

Sign CJ Spiller

Good complement to Ingram. Fills that Bush/Sproles role from the past.

Spiller on turf in an open offense, could be good.
