Drew Brees: Sean Payton and I are staying with Saints
That conversation is going on all over the place and I just want to objectively see what kind of compensation the Saints could get in return for trading Payton to another franchise.

Avoiding double-digits in the loss column certainly wouldn’t hurt. Brees sternly said during that week that he would, and after fooling with some different shoes or orthotics to help protect the injury, he did it the old fashioned way – tape. “You work so long and to put the hours in – the players and coaches and everyone involved do”. We think? New Orleans traded Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills this offseason, limiting the passing game.
Brees, who has missed only one game in the past 10 seasons, led New Orleans to points on four of the Saints’ first five offensive series, starting with his 17-yard scoring pass to tight end Michael Hoomanawanui. You can’t finish halves with single digits and win often in the National Football League these days.
I don’t think the Miami Dolphins or Philadelphia Eagles offer a better situation, either in regards to power structure or the quarterback position.
“We may not be going to the playoffs, but you’re putting your resume on tape”, Vaccaro added. Have you seen how well Brees is still playing – even with a torn plantar fascia – over the past two weeks?
Then, on the opening possession of the third quarter, Bortles capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Allen Hurns, trimming the Saints’ lead to 24-13.
Second-year receivers Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead continued to thrive. He surpassed 1,000 yards receiving this season.
Coach Sean Payton had also decided that C.J. Spiller had yet to regain the form he possesses before preseason knee surgery, so he was held out, replaced by newly re-acquired running back Travaris Cadet, who’d been claimed off of waivers this past week. If it all crashes and burns, I’ll live with it. Watching Brees, even on a 6-9 mess or worse, is too damn fun to swap for a mystery box filled with trinkets, maybe a draft pick, and Garrett Grayson on my Sunday TV. But a pass intended for Allen Robinson was deflected backwards and ended up in the hands of defensive lineman Bobby Richardson, his first career interception. Tim Hightower (27 carries, 122 yards, 2 TD’s) collected his first 100 yard rushing performance since 2010, the receivers hauled in contested catches and Brees beat defenders with darts time and time again.
No one would have blamed him if he said, “I’m shutting myself down for the year”.
Major changes could be on the horizon for the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers. But he was released the day before the regular-season opener and not brought back until Khiry Robinson’s broken leg in midseason. As with Payton, Parcells was a proven commodity with two Super Bowl victories during his Giants coaching tenure and an AFC Championship at New England. That said, I get the wheel for this scenario. “I’m just thankful that things worked out where I was able to come back”. Jairus Byrd’s annual salary of 9 million dollars has garnered the Saints one interception over the past two injury-filled years.

Payton is finishing his ninth season as Saints head coach (and he’s been in New Orleans for 10 years if you include his suspension season of 2012).
