Question to the "sign Drew Brees" group

[Solar7]

Question for everyone that's looking to bring in Brees. Can you help me understand your perspective about the move, and maybe this roster as a whole?

I don't see a team necessarily ready to win it all this year, and I don't think Brees can make it more than a year or two before seeing a sharp decline. He's clearly one of the greats, and if I were the Vikings, I'd be all over it... I just think we have a few too many holes for it.

I look at Brees this way. He is looking for big $$$$ final deal and would go S B hunting.

Brees is a proven winner, I would rather spend $30m on Brees instead of Cousins or Garoppolo

 

[Chopper0080]

Adding a top 10 QB fills a lot of "roster holes". He is a stud. He is a leader. It won't happen, but he would be a great get.

Brees plus this defense makes the team an automatic playoff contender, if not a Super Bowl contender. Like he was for the Saints.

 

[CardsFan88]

I would take Brees on a 3-4 year contract. If he's actually available he'd be my #1 choice.

Hopefully Keim is kicking the tires. If Cousins turns us down, I'd turn around and offer the same contract to Brees, if I hadn't already.

He's absolutely worth it. At some point there could be a drop off, but even with a big dropoff, he'd still probably be better then half the league.

He may not have a long future, but he still has a better future then any QB on the fa market besides Cousins and maybe even better then him (and I mean that because at 30 Cousins has far more potential years to do something).

Brees would totally be worth 28-30 mil. IF the prospect of signing him were on the table, Keim would be a fool not to consider it, even if it's another old timer rental.

Additionally, you could draft another QB. Brees would be an excellent mentor.

Yep at his age, any QB you draft can sit behind him and not be a true threat to him.

Hopefully the fear of god has hit Keim about not having a young QB with talent behind an aging vet.

Yes please

I personally think he is top 5.

It's Drew Brees. One of the all-time great QB's, and I say that even when I think he is a tool, personally Guy can play QB tho.

More moves during illegal tempering

 

[mjb21aztd]

Would be nice to give fitz a small window of hope in probably his final yr with breese or cousins.

But in reality cards will probably have kannum or bridgewater and a rookie...

Brees isn’t going anywhere folks let’s be real here!

Then why even reach Free agency, why not just sign on the dotted line before it starts.

Elway is like Robert Redford's prick twin brother, something about him turns me off

 

[overseascardfan]

Maybe MIN and Cousins aren’t a done deal yet now that Brees is available (well can negotiate with any team). NO is mentioned as being interested in a lot of recently released players but they are going to have to pay Brees more than Cousins, no way he’s taking less.

He's done the same thing each time his contract has ended.

 

[Shaggy]

Why wouldn't AZ go all in on Brees....Why spend so much on KC if you can spend just a bit more for Brees..

Because Kirk Cousins can play for another six years. Brees is 2 years older than the guy we just had that retired.

 

[Stout]

Brees is the option for me, if available. 100 percent. Then I'd still do all I could to draft a top QB prospect.

Completely agree. Give him the bucks then trade up for Darnold or mayfield to learn from a master

How would you surround Brees with any kind of talent if you traded up into the top 4? He's supposed to just throw undrafted rookie free agents open?

No, but FREE AGENTS could get open. Let's not pretend we couldn't finagle the cap to do all kinds of stuff in FA.
