However a risky situation could be evolving if the Vikings make an offer that blows the Saints' stance out the water.

The Saints dealt Graham and a mid-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for C Max Unger and the 31st overall pick three years ago.

Brees is in his late 30s and has been a mainstay in the Saints organization. Also, because of the complex way his contract was structured to help the Saints' salary cap in previous years, if Brees' contract voids it will count as $18 million in dead cap space for the Saints in 2018, according to Nola.com. The Saints obviously would prefer to work out a new contract before then, allowing them to spread out Brees' cap costs into future years.

Brees has said repeatedly that he wants to stay with the Saints.

First and foremost, it's important to remember that there is sentimental value at stake with Brees and the Saints, but that doesn't mean he can't consider better business decisions.

Orlando Scandrick requests release from Cowboys, report says
Scandrick has a $5.28 million cap hit this year, with the Cowboys able to save $1.4 million by cutting. The Cowboys originally selected Scandrick in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft out of Boise State.

One of the most prized free agents in the National Football League this year is starting to see teams step up.

While the Minnesota Vikings have been heavily connected to free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins in the past couple of weeks, the team has reportedly reached out to another veteran quarterback. We are just getting over a ridiculous weekend full of trades.

But unlike the Vikings, none of those teams played in the NFC title game last season.

Cousins may be an upgrade Case Keenum, but it's hard to envision him improving on the level of play Keenum reached in 2017.

I am not certain anything is going to change with Brees as far as his playing location, but the possibility is definitely there, and I'd be shocked if the money wasn't there as well.
