No surprise with the "deadline" being this coming Sunday. Both sides know how this works.

I'm glad he did whatever it takes so we could sign a guard to protect his arse

roger godell does not care about player safety. roger godell should have told the saints you have to draft an offensive lineman instead of stripping the pick altogether when he punished the saints. because he took the draft pick that could have been used to protect brees roger godell does not care about drew brees safety.

If we pay him will we be able to sign some guys that can block for him and guys to throw to?

How do you wait until literally the last week to start talking to your best player about a contract extension?

Greedy Brees, handcuffing the team just like he did in 2012.

That's pretty reasonable. Sign him.

Understand Drew wants to get what he can as this is likely his last contract, unless he becomes a FA....but if we can't field a team around him, namely the OL, what's the point???

Seems a cap friendly deal where he gets his $$$, but allows us the latitude to shore up the OL to protect him would be beneficial to 'all concerned'. Hope they can get it done, but I would not overpay for him....not at this stage of his career, and not with so many other holes on our roster.

Frick that.

The last year better be a team option, preferably the last two years.

I don't think those numbers are bad. The issue here is how much does he want guaranteed and that's probably where the problem lies.

This is just the kind of stupid move I've come to expect from the Saints FO.

Give him what he wants and take the money from the offensive lineman salary allotment.
