True. If they don't want to add years to Drew's deal, they are going to be paying through the nose on his deal. Maybe they want to retain the ability to not restructure Brees?

but Brees has, for the most part, made the receivers that have played here.


Exactly. We only have a couple of real examples, but the ones we have support this. Maybe Cooks/Colston/Hill and any new additions wont be that much of a drop off. Id say that it may be pretty clear we plan to run the ball more so theres that too.

They have their eye on another WR somewhere in FA or the draft and they may just actually like Nick Toon.


Well, Sentavious Jones and Brandon Coleman are still on PSquad.....but that would be long shots to even make the roster.

It's truth. Laugh at it all you want. Not saying they've been scrubs, but Brees has produced with whoever we've had in here. Even with a group that couldn't get separation, he still slung it for 5K.

moore and meachum were both at the ends of their careers when they left.

Stills is young, cheap, and proven to be an effective player in our system. Seems risky to just assume you can find someone in this year's draft to given you the same production. You could find another Stills.....or a Nick Toon

3rd rounder + Ellerbe (who isn't good but can probably start for us at this point).

Dolphins will get WR Kenny Stills, Saints get LB Dannell Ellerbe and Miami's third-rounder, per source.

ETA: Too late

Actually, you just can't understand the point that is being made. Read all of my posts, dumb frick. The Saints are valuing draft assets and are moving long term commitments. I argued that Stills is being moved now because he has the most value with 2 years left on his deal. The Saints will then use a draft pick from the Dolphins to get a cheap guy under contract for 3-5 years depending on the pick received.



naw, im reading it. It's only noon but its for sure the dumbest thing ive read all day

If that's the haul for Stills, I'm not sure why the deal isn't done yet.

You get out of cap hell by keeping a guy like Stills. He isnt a due a new contract until 2017



Yup. He keep guys like that, draft their replacement one year early, and then let them go in FA. Keep continuing the cycle unless you have someone truly special.
