The rumor I got off the other Saints board is that the Saints offered 5 years 40 million dollars for Brees' services. They said it was heard on a San Diego radio station. :awe: I know we have a couple of Cali people on our boards I wonder if they could confirm this.

I like the possibility of signing Brees! Near the end of the season (before brees got hurt) I was calling for the saints to try and trade for Rivers, so I am excited by the possibility of signing drew (besides Payton seems to have good luck with DREWS). I can still see us drafting Leinart or trading down and maybe picking up Cutler. I would love to see the Saints try to sign a quality linebacker (arrington or witherspoon) and maybe Allen at CB. This is starting to be a very exciting offseason. GEAUX SAINTS!! PS. COME ON GATORS BEAT THOSE TIGERS!!

looks like that would be in line with what he is looking for. i heard he was looking for what he got last year as the fran. player. which i think was like 8mil

further to that point papz
The deal will probably average just under $8 million per year for six years. The transition tag salary, which is the average of the top 10 quarterbacks, is $8.3 million. And if any team doesn't believe the salary will go this high probably needs to forget about Brees as an option. I would not be surprised if the team that wins his services will put a six-year deal together for $46.8 million with $15 to $16 million guaranteed. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9287875 |

I've been away for a while, and apparently we're interested in Brees? I'm kinda upset about this occurrence. The guy had a nasty injury to end his season. He's also going to be one of the highest paid FAs this year. So why are we interested in doling out too much money for a guy coming off a season-ending shoulder injury? That just doesn't make sense to me, especially with all of these people here talking about how we have so many holes to fill...

Some scary research
I liked the idea of signing Drew Brees when I began fantasy thinking right after the end of the season. Lately, with all the poison-pill talking from Brees and the Chargers - I am no longer sure.
Seems from what research I can find, Brees wants a lot of guaranteed money this year, but may not even be able to throw a single pass this year. http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports...1chargers.html Quote:
The Chargers organization alleges that they have that kind of money in his deal, if he take at least 75% of the snaps this year. Quote:
With the offer by the Chargers made public, we get the Brees camp throwing the "liar, liar" defense all over the place. Quote:
I'm not saying I totally sold against the idea of Drew Brees, but I am worried..... |
RE: Some scary research
I can't wait to put on NFL Network and see: "Breaking news: New Orleans Saints sign QB Drew Bress to x year contract." This would make me happy, and what would make me even happier is to hear: "There is a trade with the 2nd pick in the draft. The New Orleans Saints trade their pick to the Jets for their 1st 2nd and 4th round pick.............................With the 4th pick in the draft the New Orleans Saints select Offensive Tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson University Virginia." This guy is a MONSTER! The second coming of Roaf only better. This would finally solidify our O-line. I know we have some defensive issues and A.J. Hawk would be a great pick. I would not be dissapointed with that pick either but Ferguson is just way too good to pass on.
Next I would love to hear: "With the 34th pick in the 2006 draft the New Orleans Saints select Bobby Carpenter OLB Ohio State" He worked alongside Hawk and was overshadowed by Hawks star power. To wrap this up quickly next pick in the 2nd round I would like Joseph Addai WHY? because he is an LSU back and would be a viable back-up to an oft injured Deuce. next pick which is in the third I want Brodie Croyle QB Alabama. He will never be a great starter but he is smart and like Addai is a viable back-up. I know that I have alot of offense on my first day of draft wants, but I am hoping that the Saints get some good Defensive Free Agents. I for one like LaVar which will open up some more draft picks for someone like a DT or a CB. That is ALL |
