Article: Brees' contract talk could get ugly
 

With a contract that will expire in just a few weeks and with no progress made during the 2011 season toward a new one and with a record-setting season in his pocket and with a late-game performance against the 49ers that should have been enough to deliver the first road playoff win in franchise history, quarterback Drew Brees and the Saints continue to be on a collision course for awkwardness and ugliness in 2012.

In a season-ending press conference held Tuesday, coach Sean Payton said what he’s been saying for months: Brees will be back.


Superdome Super Bowl raises stakes in Brees

Its really sad to see, Florio is really reaching for straws here and his points make little to no sense. I thought the salary cap increased each year due to the tv contract they signed so why is it every idiot that gets paid to spew garbage with a computer keep saying that there isn't enough money to go around for all 4 of these guys. Hey Florio stick to sucking up to Dan Patrick and actually do some research before you try to write a shock and awe article

Mike Florio = Chris Mortensen

Mike Florio = Skip Bayless + a comb

Just a crazy thought, what would we do if they don't reach an agreement? Their will be a day Brees want be here!! Any thoughts?? I love him as much as anyone here but we have to think about it.

he'll be back. It's a non story!

This is the biggest reach for a story I've ever seen. No matter what else happens, Brees will get a deal long term. There is no doubt in my mind that Drew Brees will retire a Saint.

No Brainer, the Who Dat Nation would revolt.

If it comes down to it they can always franchise tag him, because "the Brady antitrust" claim or whatever regarding franchise tags was dropped from the CBA before the owners and players reached an agreement prior to this season.

If the Saints want him to play next season - he'll play 100% regardless of how the contract talks go.

There is no ugly.

Only in the media who wants to create drama.
