    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm in my early 30s so I can not recall anything but this is bizarre, the Saints are getting rid of everyone. It's like they are being contracted.

    What is happening here???

    They traded ONE PLAYER. They haven't lost anyone else.

    So..

    Yep.

    Theyve restructured a few contracts and practically everyone is available for trade.

    Well I hope it's true. I'd like a guard from them. Obviously Brees would be great.

    I said in the other thread between the bad contracts and the ownership issue, I think youll see this team in transition. This is only the beginning, theres plenty of offseason left.

    They are in cap hell. They were something like 17 million over cap going in to free agency. Even after the graham deal they are still 8 million over the hard cap.

    This is what happens when you back load contracts and overpay.

    Is Brees really on trade block?
