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?

I'll Fap when it is done, and I'll worry when training camp opens with Chase Daniels taking the 1st team snaps

I will wager all of my future earnings vs your future earnings that Chase Daniels will NOT be our starting QB at the start of training camp.

[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.

I can guarantee that a QB by that exact name will not take any snaps this year.

I must disagree a bit.

I would like to see Chase in all 16 games this year.





All in the fourth quarter

It was a joke based on the fact that Chase's last name is Daniel, not DanielS

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

I believe this. I have some experience with big negotiations and you can always tell when someone is not getting their way... they start talking to the press (which is what all that Brees press stuff was about a couple weeks ago). The less we hear, the better it means things are going, and things have been pretty quiet lately.

I have an inside source that says there will be a big press conference Friday.

The source says that it involves Drew Brees and the Saints.

The source says that it will be the largest of something to have ever happened in the history of the NFL, ever.

The source will not be revealed. Ever.

Make party plans for Friday night.
