Newest update on Brees.......

mighty12 · 03-12-2006, 11:16 AM

The Miami Herald reports that the Saints are offering about $3 million more in guaranteed money than the Dolphins, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that the Saints have made it known they will out-bid anyone for Brees' services.

Brees flew to New Orleans on Saturday with Saints coach Sean Payton and GM Mickey Loomis, who picked up the former Chargers quarterback in Birmingham, Ala. Earlier Saturday, Dolphins coach Nick Saban and GM Randy Mueller visited with Brees in Birmingham, hoping to convince him to pay Miami a visit before agreeing to a deal with the Saints.

Brees appears to be done negotiating with the Chargers, who have been offering a contract loaded with incentives in the first year because of his offseason shoulder surgery. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports the sides remain about $6 million apart in guaranteed money.

With the Vikings reportedly close to trading Daunte Culpepper, Minnesota is also considered a possible destination for Brees.

It is from ESPN Insider so I really can't put up the link for everyone to see, but that is as of Mar. 12.
