Drew Brees will NOT sit out. He simply won't. He has been franchised 1 time in his career but even if he sat out this year - the Saints could simply franchise him again next year (making it his 3rd franchise tag).

He won't sit out this many years for a few million dollars. Drew Brees will start the first snap for the Saints. Book it.

ETA: He has been franchised once in 2005. So he still can be franchised up to 2 more times without being able to walk away.

While I agree that he won't get the franchise tag, if he sits out this season and doesn't sign the tender, he would be a non-exclusive franchise tagged player, which means he could field long term offers, but the Saints would have the right to match.
