Sean Payton Suspended For Year - Can We Finagle Brees Out of Them?

[andres2882]

Just curious. can the Saints still trade up or down (or players) for another teams 2 round picks?

Yeah. They just lose their picks in those rounds.

 

[Vertical Limit]

Can't we still sign Brees but it would cost us draft picks? Thought I read franchise tag doesn't stop Brees from agreeing with other teams.

It'll be like a poison pill but still, I'd do it.

Goodell has made it perfectly clear now. Cheating is not even comparabe to player safety. Not in the slightest. Wow...

 

[EmperorPhin]

Wonder what will happen to players involved

 

[hoops]

goodell is getting rediculous...a whole season and 2 2nd round picks...saints are guinea pigs here...better hope they don't start looking into other teams...i'm hard pressed to believe this was a gregg williams only thing

as for brees no chance...none nada zilch

 

[Miamifinz]

NFLN saying Brees leaving really a non-issue.

 

[DphinBillkiller]

Those are some serious penalties.

How is Goodell getting ridiculous? I think the punishment didn't go far enough. Williams and Peyton should both be fired. And why should we hope they don't start looking into other teams? You're saying you want teams putting a bounty on players?

 

[WSE]

they have Brees' rights, and he cant do anything even if he wanted to go. He will either sign a long term deal or sign the franchise one year deal.

Anyway, Saints got demolished with this punishment. Head coach gone for the season. GM gone 8 games (does this mean he cant participate in draft and scouting?), 2 2nd round picks. Plus the money. If Williams was still around, at least a year for him. Its crazy

 

[silver McNibblets]

Forget Brees - Both of our third rounders this year will now happen one pick earlier

 

[Daytona Fin]

i have a feeling a similar hit program has been going on in pittsburgh too.

 

[Jeep]

With all the heat being on the Dolphins.. and with the way the Dolphins rejected him just a few short years ago... would you even consider signing on with this team if you were Bree's? I dont think I would

 

[vagrantprodigy]

How does Payton get suspended for a year, and Belichick didn't miss one game???

 

[mason429]

Holy crap. Goodell ain't messing around.

Goodell is a piece of garbage . How can he justify this after giving New England a slap on the wrist.I think he may be the worst thing to ever happen to the NFL

It's five years too late for us to go after Brees, because our brilliant doctors thought his shoulder was hurt and so we went after Daunte Culpooper. The Phins never make the right decision.
