Meanwhile, Trent Green is retired, and really started to decline after the 2005 season.
Brees, on the other hand is just in the middle of his prime, and has 5 years or more left in him.
First round pick for 5 years.
First round pick for 15 years.
One of these is a smarter investment of resourses.

Brees wouldn't have been any good to the Chiefs if he'd have been traded after his first few years just like he was in San Diego.
Edit: I should have said "let go" rather than "traded"
