NFL: 5 Quarterbacks who can replace Drew Brees

#2 Mitchell Trubisky

Green Bay Packers v Chicago Bears

Trubisky's time in Chicago is likely done, as reported the week of their game against the Saints in the Wild Card playoffs. For now, there have been no formal talks between the Bears and Trubisky of a possible return, so we can assume that Trubisky will test the waters.

Against the Saints, Trubisky played well, completing 19 of 29 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown. Considering the "top tier" defense he was facing, it was a good look for the QB who has had his ups and downs with the Bears.

Bringing Trubisky in on a two-year contract would be a good deal for both the Saints and Trubisky, as it would give him a fresh start and the Saints could sit him behind a QB like Hill who has spent a majority of his time behind Brees. Trubisky could just be the young QB the Saints need, considering their draft position is not the best.

#1 Deshaun Watson

Tennessee Titans v Houston Texans

This might be a stretch, but considering almost every QB-needy team has been linked to Deshaun Watson. After the debacle between him and the organization that did not involve him in the hiring process of the Texans' new GM, it is believed that Watson will no longer play for the Texans.

In come the Saints, who have plenty to offer GM Nick Caserio if he is told by Watson to trade him. Michael Thomas has already been rumored to possibly be traded in the offseason, but it will take more than just a receiver to give up a Pro Bowl QB like Watson.

Without a doubt, Watson would flourish under HC Sean Payton and his system. At most, Watson would have more help than he has had as a Texan and could be the biggest threat in the NFC South once Tom Brady leaves the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
