I still want him to come here, but most of all, I just wanna know one way or the other, so we can focus on other things.

I have zero patience so I can understand your frustration

Try this, put your self in his shoes. 26yo, single, not only are you making a decision that a potential $100MM future implication but you are gifted with something that is very rare in this league especially at his age.

When was the last time a QB under 30 had the fortune of being able to decide where he goes? QB of his caliber are generally long term at the team they were drafted by, franchise tagged, or traded without much choice. If I were his friend id say '***K the fans, take the time to make the right decision for you'.

Now, if he is out getting a massage and not really pining on the decision then screw him.

The only thing worse than being a Saints fan right now and waiting for this decision, is being a Falcons fan, because their team already sucks. XD

To Chris's point about losing the locker-room. It is one thing to get pulled into a trade and have to change teams; it is a whole different level of azz-hurt when you are Matt Ryan the franchise QB that your team just went all in to replace you with 2 years left on your contract. Franchise QBs aren't treated that way they generally play it out and find a team for the sunset years.
