Educate me guys: how likely WAS it that we would have signed Culpepper?

Because what i'm hearing is that the FO basically told Brees, "We want you here." Didn't question his health or his ability to get healthy. That's one thing he has said that made him feel so at home coming to NO.

Did we want Brees all along and snag him up? Or was he the best of two choices?

Culpepper was not an option. Minnesota wanted a 2nd round pick and there is no way that the Saints wouldve given up pick #34 for Culpep.

Like you said, they wanted Brees all along and got their man. If for some reason he didnt sign, they wouldve targeted McCown and probably drafted a Qb to compete. Also, rumors came out recently that Payton was after Romo, but I think that is just heresay.
