If Drew Brees doesn't have a restructure moment like he did last year.

We will be the ones trying to get Kirk. Trust me... Sean Payton would turn him into a monster.

Where is the "All of These Teams" option?

 

[Hey BAY BAY!!!]

If he don't get hurt he resign with Redskins. He should have signed the deal to be payed second highest paid QB. What more do he want. He better hope he stay healthy. Its a long season. If he gets hurt nobody not gone sign him. Good luck Captain Kirk.

Quality Quarterbacks that could hit the open market next year (my opinion): Brees, Cousins, Garoppolo or Brady, Alex Smith, and AJ McCarron. Would not be surprised if the APY for quarterbacks goes down.

Saints should go after Mccarron or Cousins

 

[OutlawSaint]

I really think our offense would continue to click with Cousins but I still hope it's with Brees next season 2018

If he gets hurt then we can sign him for cheaper and have Brees 2.0 (with a QB coming off injury)

I think the chance of Brees leaving for a run with another team is probably very close to zero. From what I've heard in his interviews, he's taking it year by year. He'll do a self check before beginning another season. When he feels like he can't keep the commitment, he'll retire. I don't think he wants to move his family. I understand that. I've been offered twice what I make now, but I'm not moving my family, and I'm not leaving them behind for long periods of time. I think Drew gets to call that shot. I don't believe our organization would be willing to move him against his will, and I seriously doubt that he's going to ask to be traded or make us out-bid anybody. I imagine it's going to be one year deals for him the rest of the way... with the Saints.

I don't know. I don't care for Cousin vertical passing game to be honest at all. There has been a lot of data suggesting that Cousin is quite terrible against against good defenses.

That $53m guaranteed deal Washington offered is a lot less impressive when you realize Cousins will make $52.6m if he plays the next two seasons under the franchise tag for them.

This is also why you don't wait until zero hour to sign a young QB with extremely obvious talent. Cousins gonna get paaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiidddddd.

 

[St. Geezy]

I'd like to see us throw our name in the hat. Love Drew obviously, but I think Cousins would thrive under Payton and be our QB for the next decade-plus.

A very interesting off-season coming up here with Drew set to become a free agent and only having a couple of seasons after this one left in him more than likely.

His only has leverage was with Washington - and by not signing a long-term deal with them, his leverage is gone. Yes, he will become a free agent, but any team that signs him won't care at all about the franchise number - it means nothing to them. They will offer a contract that matches how he rates in the NFL He won't get Drew Brees or Aaron Rogers money, but the next tier down. Nobody will sign him short term because no one wants to be saddled like Washington was.

Washington blew it... and now, so did Cousins. Leverage is gone.

Cousins has all the leverage in the world. All he has to do is put up numbers even remotely similar to his 2015 and 2016 seasons and teams will be throwing blank checks at him. You are severely underestimating what a team without a franchise QB will pay to secure a young QB with numbers like Cousins.

Decade-plus? He's turning 29 next month. I think that's over-shooting a bit.
