Malcolm wants what every RFA wants, and that's to be paid like an UFA. My guess is he plays for the Pats next year. Why haven't the Saints made an offer yet? Probably bc they don't want to give up a high pick and sign him for big bucks - but that's what it's going to take.

similarly, I think Brady wants what every player wants - to play forever. reality eventually will get him. I suspect Pats are saving cap space to pay 2 QB's for a year or maybe two, but who knows.
