Nicks is gone even if Drew signed for the franchise tag amount.

Don't put Nicks leaving on Drew.

Nicks would have been tagged if Drew signed the contract before forcing the Saints to tag him.

You also said in clear terms that your 5 year old nephew could understand that Manning was their only major injury last season, so think about that before you get all pissy about it.

My post was in reference to the posted i quoted about affording both of them in terms of salary, not transaction related moves.

Besides there have been rumors that if we had not tagged Drew we may have tagged Colston instead anyway so your statement is really just speculation.

Fact is we couldn't afford to give nicks and brees both long term deals unless they both had taken steep discounts.
