re: What is the hold up in signing Drew Bress

Both sides are holding it up. When it gets down to the wire a deal will be made. Brees is dangling his carrot to get a few more million, and I don't blame him. He has all of the bargaining power.

The only thing the Saints has is the public. As it gets closer to the end Drew won't be able to walk in public in NO without getting hounded about accepting a contract.

Granted, a million or two less seems like little when you are looking at it from our point of view, "HEY YOU ARE MAKING TENS-OF-MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, STOP WHINING". But its still millions of dollars, a sum most of us will not see at once, ever.
