Brees to Saints

Free agent QB Drew Brees has signed a 6-year, $60 million deal with the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, reacting to the trade between the Miami Dolphins and the Minnesota Vikings that included QB Daunte Culpepper moving to the AFC. Brees joins a talented, but much maligned offense that features Deuce McAllister, who is coming off a severe injury, and WR Donte Stallworth and Joe Horn.

The Saints have the #2 pick in the NFL draft in May, and were expected to select USC QB Matt Leinart, but this signing could mean the Saints will look in a different direction with the pick, and still have the option to trade it. Their offensive line could use bolstering, and if McAllister doesn't return to 100%, they might look to a younger RB.
