Brees may not be in camp!

[rayzor]

i'd be shocked if he gave it anywhere close to 100% playing under the franchise tag.

last time he did that it nearly ended his career. that won't be forgotten.

no payton means that they will be massively hampered in game preparedness and planning. without him in there they are essentially asking brees to be not just the dynamic player and leader on the team, but now the OC and the HC since he is the guy that the team will be looking at for leadership.

Saints* can't afford to not make sure he's taken care of, esp. this year. he has that team over a barrel. he has all the power this season and the only thing the franchise can do to survive this year and in the future is say, "yes sir, mr. brees."

Sapp and McGinest were on NFL Network last night saying how from a players point of view, imagine if you are the 53rd man on that roster. The way they are handling Brees means anyone on that team is expendable. It makes guys uncomfortable knowing that and makes potential free agents maybe not want to sign with the team. So that's all good news.

Remeber Saints* fans: it's down the road, not across the street. :cam:

this drama has made what is normally just an amazingly boring-ass part of the offseason at least somewhat interesting.

so thanks drew.

Good, fug the Saints*.

Some have seen this and others havent. If you want a good laugh, here is a link to a Saints* fan prediction of the Brees contract situation. It is truly LoL material

good point.

panthers "overpay" for guys who give it all.

Saints* try to go cheap on the guy that saved their franchise.

what example is either franchise setting?

what message are they sending?

who would you want to play for?

sure, the Saints* got a ring and have had one of the most prolific offenses in years, but what are they doing to the one who made that possible? meanwhile, it's obvious the direction the panthers are heading with cam and rivera. what would you rather be a part of?

last i remember seeing is they only have 2mil left in cap space, I'm pretty sure he is aksing an extra 4-7mil per year than what is designated by the tag.

Someone should send Drew an email letting him know we paid $30MM to Chuck J. last year, and that is where his negotiations should start.

I'm pretty sure the team would block the email. That is, unless it originated from within prison confines.

Not to worry. The "Step Up" website has so far collected more than $2400 in Saint fan donations.

The gap will be bridged soon :D
