The post lacks clarity and context, making it difficult for readers to engage or understand the main point. More detail about the NFL 2020 topic would improve its relevance and value to the community.

So it looks like the Drew Brees era is coming to an end.
Will be interesting to see what the Saints do now. A Sean Payton/Jameis Winston combo could be nice. They could trade for Deshaun Watson (although looking at their cap situation, don't think they can) or they could trade up in the draft and get someone like Zach Wilson.
Just really hoping they're not gonna install Taysom Hill as their QB.

Yeah I agree on Brees. He can no longer throw the ball deep, he is super accurate and an excellent reader of the defense but there is simply no deep threat whatsoever with him
From the second half the Buccs went with tight man to man coverage, crowding the line, meaning Brees hold it too long and taking away the run and they had no answers.
Essentially darting them to go deep. So difficult to go on 12 - 15 play drives over and over again against a good defense.
They need to bring in the backup if they want to throw deep and that isn't ideal and takes away the surprise element of the play.
I think Hill will be their QB next year and they'll make the playoffs with him. It becomes a different offense when he's playing but he's shown enough to win games with his legs.
They paid him because they wanted that dimension on the roster. Now they will have to go with him because of their cap situation. But they still have enough on hand to win 9 or 10 games and sneak in to the playoffs, imo.
Fundamentally though, I just don't think capping out around Brees has proven to be the right move. He hasn't been getting it done when it matters because defenses fully focussed on him give him the throws he can't make anymore.
He was putting up some stats but his limitations are there. His arm just isn't at that level anymore and they can't small ball their way down the field against playoff competition. Two years in a row beaten at home in the playoffs turning it over speaks for itself.
It will depend on what they do to that roster. It is a very strong overall team and Hill didn't really go against any top tier teams. Atlanta twice, Eagles and a Denver side that didn't have a QB.
Sticking him as the main man will show up his issues more and if they have to revamp a lot of the team for the cap it will put a lot more pressure on Hill.

The Steelers are planning to sign ex-first-round QB Dwayne Haskins today. Haskins is meeting with the coaches now, and if all goes well, a deal will be hammered out.
Didn't see that one coming!
Very much out of the blue but a good signing. He's on little money and has a lot to prove. Low risk with potential for high reward for the Steelers.
I know there's the possibility he's a liability in the locker room but if anyone can manage that type of personality well it's Tomlin.
Yeah and I suppose we shouldn't be that surprised given they only have thirty something players signed and are already in cap trouble, so they need cheap guys to backfill the roster. With Ben and Rudolph both going in to their final years it could be an opportunity for Haskins if he works to turn things around. It's only a futures contract in any case, he may not even make the team.
