Look, I know you don't want to hear what is floating around town.

I know all information must meet approval by way of North Carolina. But the coaches are all preparing for a season without the guy, and Miami is offering him the $$ he wants.

Money is gonna talk from now on.



so we're going to let Brees go for a million a season

You might as well start another thread saying Drew found another football league on the planet Terposipoluso and the team Galatoirs is in need of a qb and is offering Drew the universe and Drew's really considering it because they just had a solar storm and the planet is in need of a savoir there too.

I'm pretty sure this will be the plot for Avengers 2.


Made this thread worth reading. I'm pretty sure some people on this board have a touch of the D.

They talked about how Miami said he could have what he wants. They also talked about how each and everyone of them are on notice.
So, they are telling the coaches Drew may not be here. Miami came up because of what was said regarding the "whatever you want" part.
I guess that is code for something.



Miami could be willing to give Brees $100m/yr and fill up the rest of the roster with vet minimum guys, and it still wouldn't change the fact that Brees has an exclusive franchise tag which prohibits other teams from negotiating with Brees. Sure, they could tamper and make under the table offers, but we can apply the exclusive franchise tag again next season and be back to square one.

Strange that a Saints coach doesn't understand this. Maybe you could get your buddy to give him a refresher on how the exclusive tag works.

I don't think earth shattering but said again he thinks drew's at that 20-21 mill number, saints are still at that 19 range.


The difference is too small for them to let it interrupt OTA's coming up and offseason workouts for this team in this state IMO.


It is when you consider that's about 8 mil over the length of the contract. The wife won't be happy with leaving 8 mil on the table.

Saints already have enough bad PR. Pay the man 21 mil a year, get him signed, and get this over with.

If it's 20 million, the Saints seriously are being cheap. That's only 1 million over the highest paid QB in the league, correct?

That's how inflation works. Drew gets the biggest deal since he's on a contract year. When Brady and Rodgers get around to their deal...it will be bigger than Brees. So on and so forth. Get the shite done Saints ffs.

Sounds like you have a buddy who is playing a joke on you. Anyone would know this is BS and not going to happen no way no how.

If the Saints were actually crazy enough to let Brees walk, then I'll quietly put away all of my hats and shirts and wait until somebody with some brains is calling the shots down there.

That being said, I don't think anybody down there is actually stupid enough to let him go.

This thread became Datty-worthy when the "my friend knows the Saints coach" guy stepped in.

Denver got PM signed, with all his issues, in a matter of wks if not less. DB's contract has been out there since last Aug at least & the Saints have had a good idea of his value/cost since then, with no PM type issues at all.

Not sure a good analogy.
PM was shopping himself to the league and denver rolled the dice quickly because elway hates baby Jesus.
Brees is locked with the Saints playing or not due to the tag.
Just a who blinks 1st issue.
Not sure the FO gives a rats arse about the anxiety level in whodat nation.
