Saints Insist They Won't Trade Drew Brees

Mar 24, 2015 11:18 AM

The New Orleans Saints insist they won't trade Drew Brees.

"Anybody who thinks we're trading Drew Brees, that's just not true," general manager Mickey Loomis told USA TODAY Sports' Jim Corbett.

Brees had a down season in 2014 and the Saints appear to be rebuilding.

Loomis also took issue with the perception that the Saints' salary cap is a mess necessitating many of the moves.

"We're not in cap jail," Loomis said. "That's a myth since it's always a year to year deal."

The Saints started roughly $23 million over the threshold before moves put them slightly under the $143.2 million cap.
