This is no longer a Panthers thread, it is now an Ed Dickson thread.

Yeah but that only gives them a receiving corps of just Hartline.
Rumors that Brees could be off to Cleveland for two 1st round picks
That seems too dumb for even Cleveland.
ETA: Looking into the cap implications, it's not possible for the Saints to even trade Brees.
What’s the point of devoting the league’s second-largest cap hit ($26.4 million) to Drew Brees if you’re not going to run the offense around his skills? While there was speculation that the Saints could move on from Brees, it’s just not possible; they would owe $7 million more on their cap by trading him
They can trade him cap wise. It would save them $11m in cap room. They can't cut him though. His entire $18m salary for next season is guaranteed.
What is Barnwell talking about then?
He's wrong. Probably just a mistake on his part not realizing the $18m guaranteed salary would be the responsibility of the team Brees is traded to and would come off the saints cap. If he's cut then the saints have to pay it and it would be a cap loss of $7m.
