Drew Brees' extension looks like a win for the Saints
By Nick Underhill -- Advocate
Every organization and every fan base should be afraid of becoming the Cleveland Browns.
Teams like that live in something like a post-apocalyptic dead land that is unable to grow and harvest quarterbacks. They keep buying seeds, planting them, and yet nothing ever sprouts. It’s not a knock on those players or the organizations suffering through similar fates; it’s just difficult to locate, draft and develop quarterbacks.
That’s why on Wednesday the present became the future, and the future became the past in New Orleans. Drew Brees is sticking around for the next two years, and Garrett Grayson, at least as the 53-man roster is concerned, is out after being waived.
This was a move the organization had to make. Having Brees means the organization has a shot at making the playoffs the next couple years. There are no guarantees, and things might look bleaker once the season starts and we know what this team is made of, but the Saints don’t appear that far off. Get the defense to at least a mediocre level, settle the offensive line, and No. 9 can do the rest.
