"Brees is 'livid' about being … tagged and not receiving a long-term contract, according to WIST-AM in New Orleans. The radio station cites sources in the Brees camp that he will not sign the franchise tag deal.

:D

BONUS EDIT: FORMER SAINTS PLAYER WANTS NFL TO SUSPEND BREES

Former Saint Kyle Turley wants the NFL to investigate and possibly SUSPEND Drew Brees depending on his knowledge of the bounty program, and for the NFL Players Union to demote him since they have been arguing for years for improved player safety and Brees is an executive within the players organization.

He should've seen this coming! The team doesn't have enough money since they used most of it on bounty rewards for their defensive players. Don't worry Brees, I'm sure Miami will be more than willing to sign you. I'm sure they're well ok with being a consultation prize from when you chose the Saints* over them years ago.

lol SaintsReport implosion incoming

No they are staying delusional about this one, saying that Bree's isn't that kind of guy and that this is just a baseless rumor that can't be confirmed. Lmao, it's going to be great seeing how all this unfolds for the Aints.

    • Agreed need a proven commodity as a bridge QB and bring in one of these young guys to compete. 
    • Panthers now average 0.32 ASS on deep routes (league avg: 0.28) and a 55% open rate on deep targets (league avg: 52%). They've racked up 28 deep completions (top-10) for 892 yards (8th), a far cry from 2024's bottom-5 finish. Young's deep accuracy sits at 48% (league avg: 46%), with 8 deep TDs (tied for 7th).   Key Panthers WRs on Deep Routes (Through Week 10) Roster shakeup: Adam Thielen was traded post-cuts; Jalen Coker is on IR (injured early); Hunter Renfrow was re-signed as a slot option but sees occasional deep looks. McMillan and Xavier Legette (2024 1st-rounder) form the core vertical duo   .Team Total: 71 deep targets (12th in NFL); 30 completions (9th); 958 deep yards (7th). Strength: McMillan's addition has flipped the script—85th percentile in single-coverage separation (per PFF). Legette's growth adds balance. Weakness: Depth beyond the top two is thin; Renfrow provide YAC but not elite separation (group ranks 18th in deep YAC). Comparison to Other Teams Panthers WRs are now solid mid-tier, a huge leap from 2024's bottom-5. McMillan has vaulted them past teams like the Giants/Patriots, but they're not yet elite (e.g., trailing Eagles/Chiefs). (Min. 65 deep targets/team.)   Sources: PFF Receiving/Separation Reports (2025), Next Gen Stats, FantasyPros Advanced WR Metrics
    • Vs. League Avg: Panthers were -9% in open rate and -0.08 in ASS on deep routes. Only the Commanders (41%) and Giants (40%) fared worse. Route-Specific: On go/vertical routes, Panthers had a 37% separation rate (league avg: 49%; per PFF route study). Slants/seams were better (48%), but pure deep balls exposed the lack of speed/elusiveness. Context: League-wide deep attempts dropped 8% in 2024 (2,359 total; fewest since 2009), but Panthers attempted just 81 (bottom-10), partly due to poor separation forcing checkdowns. Why It Matters for QB Play (Bryce Young Tie-In) This ties directly to the interview analysis: Canales cited "chemistry/timing" for deep issues, but the root is WR separation. Bryce's deep accuracy was 38% (league avg: 46%), but when WRs generated ≥2 yards separation, it jumped to 52%
