| Who blinks first? Posted by JazzyJeff on 5/10 at 10:48 pm The first deadline to really matter is coming up real soon, so who will blink first and get the talks started again, Drew or the Saints? I say the Saints; Drew has all the leverage and the fallout for the Saints brass if Drew didn't play this year would be monumental. Reply • Back to Top |
| Loomis knows he has no leverage. He'll crack first. Reply • Back to Top |

| I honestly don't think anyone of us saw it coming to this. It makes you re-evaluate the way you see people. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: If " The Loomis" doesn't sign Drew for this season the Saints fans will make Goddell look like meek old lady! " The Loomis" better go into hiding in Antarctica if he f's this deal up. Right now " The Loomis" has a pretty cold outlook on the horizon. Reply • Back to Top |

| If Loomis publicly offers Drew a generous deal, and Drew doesn't accept it, people's perception of Drew will change in the blink of an eye. Goatmilker that is a disturbing GIF  Reply • Back to Top |

| This isn't a standoff or a hold out situation. It only matters if and only if Drew isn't signed by May 21. And even then, it really doesn't matter, because that's just OTAs. Reply • Back to Top |
| By the way, I've long held that the franchise tag was a way for the Saints to have a placeholder in the salary cap in order to allow them to sign other players. Getting Drew to $69 million of real money over the first three years is rather easy. Getting to the $120 million mark for the total contract (whether it's 6 or 7 years) is easy. But there is no reason to panic. Plus, I THINK Drew can talk to Payton right now... Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Yup. I have not heard anything to the contrary. But you still need to be careful...eyes are everywhere! But lets keep posting more "sign Brees NOW" threads anyway. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: To me the deadline is July 15 and that is what the parties have in their head as the deadline date. Yeah it'll be the story of the OTA if he isn't there but that's just PR Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Dang it you got me again with that disgusting GIF! quote: Yes, please let's have a few more threads with; "we need Brees", "Brees holds all the cards", "without Brees we are", "I can't sleep at night because Brees hasn't" and my favorite, "Brees will be signed by____". Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Who said they stopped? It's gonna get done, both Loomis and Drew have said that. So just shut up and let it happen Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Ding, Ding, Ding....We have a winner! Reply • Back to Top |
| This board will crash the day he does finally sign. That should be a topic! Reply • Back to Top |
quote: It needs to be more like "Drew needs to sign [the offer to become the highest paid NFL QB]" Reply • Back to Top |
quote:Daaaamn, that makes sense, because Drew isn't part of the team now. Maybe they are delaying it as long as possible purposely(Sandbagging they already have a deal in place). Reply • Back to Top |
| Just talked to a person very close to Brees, was told deal won't be done for a while, not even close. Take it FWIW... Reply • Back to Top |
