METAIRIE, La. – Two more articles appeared on ESPN this week suggesting that the salary cap could force the New Orleans Saints to consider trading or releasing Drew Brees – a popular but misguided notion that has been discussed a lot this year.
One of the articles is intentionally sensational – the annual blockbuster trade scenarios that also include mythical deals for J.J. Watt and Calvin Johnson, among others. But the idea of dumping Brees to the New York Jets for only a third-round pick is especially absurd.
