Gap between Saints, Brees smaller than reported Posted by Mike Florio on June Widespread reports over the past several months have pegged the Saints’ offer at $18 million per year, with Brees’ demands north of $21 million. Some accounts have put Brees’ expectations at $23 million annually. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, that’s not the case. Brees, we’re told, has never asked for $21 million. And the Saints are believed to be offering more than $18 million, possibly closer to $19 million than $18 million. Last month, Brees hinted that the demands attributed to him have been overstated. “I would say that the numbers that have been thrown around by ESPN and some of these other places, at times, have been pretty heavily inflated,” Brees said

You're not honestly going to sit there and tell me that espn would provide false reports on a story are you?


Seriously, with a straight face?

[quote]Even if that’s the strategy, it makes no sense for the Saints to sacrifice Brees’ involvement in the offseason program during an offseason of so much upheaval and uncertainty. While Brees may not need the extra work in order to pick up where he left off in 2011, the Saints need Brees.
Apparently, the Saints don’t believe they need him enough to close the gap now.[/quote]

This is BS and anyone who believes this is full of shite.

How does this disagree with the reported approximate 2 million dollar gap we keep hearing about?
