Twitter post says that shelter says that saints offered to make Brees higher paid than Brady and Manning. Can't find a link to corroberate but thought I'd share. LINK

I was going to be a complete and totally obnoxious a-hole to you, but you're new and seem to try hard not to be a dick, so I'll just say that this has been reported many times before.

Brees wont be signed till July 15th, adjust your hopes till then and your life gets better. I promise.

I know that. I'm just getting tired of hearing people say that the saints need to pay the man. The saints put out a good offer but nothing is going to happen without that arbitrators ruling and a clock about to run out.

Yeah...I'm starting to think Brees is unhappy with JUST being the highest paid QB.
I blame Condon.

I agree with all of this.

I think what's going on here is that the Saints leaked out that they sent Brees a new offer to 2 or 3 media members. They would run with it and get the fan base all excited that a deal was imminent (which is what happened) All the while the Saints and Brees were no closer to a deal than they were a week before, it's just now the fans will turn on Brees when he doesnt say anything for a week or he rejects the latest offer. We may be in this for awhile

This is actually the most plausible, logical explanation I have seen yet for what has happened the past 7-10 days. Excellent post.

It's well known that both sides of any high-level negotiation use the media to further their ends. Very good reasoning here and this would explain a whole lot from how dead set convinced those few local media members were while the national media knew nothing about it.

If I were a reporter or something, I think I'd pass on reporting rumors like this.

The probability of being the first to break the story is smaller than the probability of looking like a fool.

Stick around.. you seem okay. Some of the guys here are very, very quick at picking up Saints news and reporting it to all of us, so don't be surprised if you get fussed at for posting something that's been posted before. You'll figure out your role around here soon enough.

Dont make any remarks (whether fact or personal opinion) that can possibly be construed as negative towards any Saints player, coach, or administration staff. It is not allowed here.

No Saints coach, player, or GM has ever made a bad decision or bad play. They are all the very best at their position/job.

How do you explain Scott Shanle, Mark Ingram, Roman Harper....

You can make intelligent comments negatively about saints players, but don't bash them for no reason.

Also, don't act like a buthurt little sandy vag if you start a dumbass thread and get shite on for it.

That's the worst.

I love when someone starts an idiotic/borderline troll thread and gets roasted for it.
They fight back for a while, but eventually give up.
And then later, you find a thread on the OT whining about how "stuck up" ST is.
