Saints won't be the same without Brees. It will be interesting to see if Payton will use Hill as a starting QB.

My fellow MSU Bulldog Dak is going to have a heck of a year. The pressure will definitely be on him to make a deep playoff run.

Should have held on to that rookie card until 2047 when Brady retires.

Dak is a great quarterback and has a stacked offense. Defensive play will be key. mtmuley

Dak will be the best fantasy QB in the league. Garbage time points will be racked up in record fashion.

Dak is over rated and over paid but that happens when you have worse GM in league! Cowboys likely finish 2nd in division that gets won again by a 8/9win team, they are among best in league at being average. I think Tampa will be ok but dont see a deep run. Curious about rogers, if he ends up in denver they could be a lot better! In the end i think its bills/kc vs GB(with rogers)/Rams. Curious about chargers, bengals, WTFs, browns. Dumster fire houston will continue to burn.

A pretty good read for one of our all time greats...

Saint goes marching out: Brees retires from NFL

Drew Brees announced his retirement after 20 NFL seasons on Sunday, writing on Instagram to Saints fans, "This is not goodbye, rather a new beginning."

www.espn.com

Brees will count $12.225 million against this year's cap through June 1. Then his 2021 cap charge will drop to $11.15 million after his retirement becomes official.

That's a big deal for the Saints, who were more affected by the NFL's reduced salary cap than maybe any team in the NFL this year. They began the offseason nearly $100 million over the cap, before reducing Brees' salary and releasing veterans Emmanuel Sanders, Janoris Jenkins, Kwon Alexander and Thomas Morstead, among others.

The Saints also restructured Hill's contract to create cap room. Hill received a four-year, $140 million contract extension -- but all years are voidable, and it's a mechanism to free up cap space this year, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. It saves the Saints more than $7.5 million against the cap this year, and his contract numbers this year include a $9.686 million signing bonus, a $1.439 million guaranteed roster bonus and a $1.034 million guaranteed base salary plus incentives.

Contract restructures that include voided years are common, but the salaries on voided years aren't usually reported -- and sometimes they're heavily inflated. If those voided salaries are too low, it can affect the rule on renegotiating deals within 12 months.

On a positive note, Brees is leaving the Saints in decent shape as far as backup options.

My hope is for full stadiums, no out breaks, and some feel of normalcy. Whatever that is now. Oh and for the almighty CHIEFS to win the superbowl again!!

 

[Sytes]

Chiefs are bad ass! While I'm a Cowgirl fan, Chiefs are pretty awesome to watch! Mahomes has one epic QB all star potential. Dig his Captain style as well.
