No. they were going to replace him either way. His contract was up. The year they drafted phillip rivers, the Chargers had had a really crappy year.
They had the number one pick. Just so happened that in that same season, phillips rookie year, Brees played REALLY well, until getting hurt in the final regular season game.
I have to believe the plan all along was to move away from Drew Brees.
