What would be more disappointing: Drew Brees retiring or 2020 team with no Taysom Hill & Alvin Kamara? (1 Viewer)

[BCK30]

I for one hope the Saints can bring "the band" back together with a few important upgrades for one more run but sometimes I get the feeling that may not be possible and someone will be let go/traded because there's not enough salary cap room to keep everyone.

I have prepared myself for when Drew retires. I haven’t prepared myself for no TH7 and AK41

The chances of either Hill or Kamara going elsewhere this year are slim. As for Drew I give it a less than 20% chance he retires.

considering our cap situation I can see AK being traded

though if Th is the new no 2 we loose possibly our 2nd best WR making AK loss more significant

I’d be more mad about drew. We can find a cheap kamara and who knows about Taysom as a full time qb. He will have to learn to slide

Kamara's contract is still low enough that they don't need to trade him to save space. If he insists on a new deal the team can't afford then he can just sit for a year and not got paid.

im thinking more about AK not a FA so we have his rights ,

Latt and Ram we can loose IMO and MW and AA don’t have the same value

I’d say both of those scenarios would be as equally disappointing for me. Brees, because he’s still probably better at this point than anyone else we might have, and, of course for sentimental reasons. Taysom and Kamara, because they’re both just good players who I’d hate to be without.

The good news is I don’t think we’ll be without a single one in 2020, but hey, you never know.

No Teddy

 

[Saint Taysom]

I’d rather not lose Taysom and Kamara... and that would last beyond 2020. If Brees comes back, it’s likely just for 2020. Taysom and Kamara have 4-5 prime years ahead of them.

Latt and Ram were both first round picks and as such are subject to the 5th year option clause making them under contract though 2021. Their leverage for a new deal now is less than Kamara's

#9 retiring.......it's not even close.

Not buying it until HE announces it and that likely won't happen until Brady retires.

 

[Heartbreak Kid]

Taysom not being here. He is single handedly responsible for what.... 40-55% of anything positive that happened in our last game?

 

[Bayouvette]

after this year of AK he is definitely expendable. We chose to keep the wrong player in that scenario with ingram. It happens.

we need drew.
