Brees returning in '20...

Per Schefter. Not surprising obviously.

Not good for us

This would have helped stir the QB pot.
Has to help Eli's chances for the HOF in 2025

This is my only reaction. Brees, Brady, Belichick, Peterson and Fitzgerald all coming back next season - can only help Eli's chances for first ballot enshrinement.
It helps in a lot of ways

now the Saints are stuck with having to lose one or possibly two QB's. None of the folks at the top of the draft will be signing either of the other two QB's (assuming Hill or Bridgewater) and it puts the Saints in a QB need scenario.

I think the Patriots might make a play for Hill and Bridgewater could easily end up in Chicago, Tennessee (if they trade/release Mariotta) or even Pittsburgh.. The top of the draft is not changing because of this so LAC, TB, Oak, Mia will all still need QB's.

This was the first thing I thought of.
don't see this impacting picks 1-4 either way

0% chance Eli is a 1st-ballot HoFer.  
Mr. Bungle : 2/18/2020 12:47 pm : link
So this won't affect that anyway.

0% chance means no one will vote for him which is preposterous. I'd say he's got a 50/50 shot at first ballot, maybe a bit better odds depending on who's not in yet from previous classes and who's on it with him.
I was hoping he would retire

So the saints resign Bridgewater Now Bridgewater will go to a QB needy team and possibly lessen the need for one of the top 10 draft teams. I dont see Miami signing him but I could see the Chargers which would eliminate them from a trade up and less competition for Miami.
Why not?

A peak football town with a winning team. Wish we had that.

Yeah, nothing like that regular season winning.

Agree. Will be interesting to see what team hands its keys to Bridgewater. I know he won last year, but he still doesn't seem to invoke the kind of confidence seen in someone to whom you turn over the reins of your operation at its most important position. Maybe that's just me and he'll prove me wrong. Nothing against the guy, for sure.
Brees is

incredible for a 41 year old QB. HOF guy for sure.
