re: Schefter on Brees

Life is a negotiation. Brees has been saying he's confident it will happen to make the Saints look bad if they don't give him a deal. That puts pressure on them to meet his price. All of these leaks about the tag put pressure on Brees, maybe he'd give up a million or 2 per year to get the security of a long term deal now and keeping Nicks. They are playing a game of chicken and we won't know how it will end until someone or no one blinks. Yes he might get tagged but one or both sides could cave and come to an agreement.
