Yep. Drew was the Greg Maddux of the NFL. He beat you by continuously “painting the black.”
What QB kept Sean McDermott up at night when gameplanning? Drew Brees. "He was surgeon...he was able to look off and move defenders and throw opposite the direction he was moving them."

I spent some time getting to know new Saints guard David Edwards this week. He’s a big fan of New Orleans — and Tyler Shough. Jeff Duncan: Just months into his Saints tenure, David Edwards is already proud to call New Orleans home nola.com/sports/saints/saint…

Saints fans are going to like David Edwards, who just might be the team's most important offseason acquisition. My column... Jeff Duncan: Just months into his Saints tenure, David Edwards is already proud to call New Orleans home nola.com/sports/saints/saint… via @nolanews

Saints-Pelicans owner Gayle Benson returned to New Orleans today from a two-day business trip to Washington D.C., where, among other things, she had a one-on-one meeting with President Trump.

Saints also had a team-building exercise earlier this week. Another bow-fishing excursion in the South Louisiana marsh.

The Saints return to the practice field today as they near the end of their third week of offseason workouts. They'll be outside in the New Orleans heat and humidity. Alvin Kamara is not expected to be with them. He has not been with the team since his heralded return last week.

Fair to say, LSU dodged a bullet when they lost the bidding war to Texas Tech in the recruitment of Brendan Sorsby. Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make.

Straight out of the NFL playbook....
While I’m being told that the Bears announcement on Hammond is “real”, i.e. not a leverage play, a league source told me that the Bears leaving the state is not a done deal. Per source, Indiana is in the lead right now, but “Illinois can still get back in the race,” granted the state has a lot of ground to make up after not passing legislation that would have insured the Bears property tax certainty.

Chalmette High alum Mitchell Robinson checks in for the Knicks. He’s first player from a New Orleans area high school to play in an NBA Finals since 2003 when St. Augustine grad Kerry Kittles played for the then-New Jersey Nets vs. Spurs.

My two cents on the AK situation... He & Saints have not had direct talks yet on the size of the proposed pay cut. So until he knows exactly how big a haircut the Saints want from him, he can't make any declarative statements. Also explains why Kellen Moore has evaded the topic.

The Allstate Sugar Bowl will be played on Jan. 15th and is one of the semifinal games of the College Football Playoffs. The Jan. 15th date is the latest the Sugar Bowl has ever been played.

Once thing feels certain, with joint practice sessions scheduled against the Jaguars (AFC South champs), Rams (Super Bowl favorites) and Cowboys, Kellen Moore and his staff should have a great idea where this Saints team stands before the regular season starts.
