i wonder if brees is using us
 

i wonder if he knows the money he wants but also understands it may be a little less. so what does he do, go to new orleans , act like he is going to sign with us because we are offereing the most money, then turn around and sign with the dolphins for a little less. i wonder as we have signed noone. all reports are we have offered 3 mil more guarenteed but yet he hasn't signed. if that happens when we play them there should be a bounty offered on the guys head

That is the scariest but most viable post against Brees I have seen today. That has me thinking.

Just business fellas.......chillout.
Brees is most likely gonna sign with us.......relax

chaching i hope you are right

I feel like we're being used too... we'll just have to wait and see. We've already leaked it out that we will outbid everyone for him... so if he chooses Miami over us, you know what's up.

exactly papz. you know where i got that idea. before washington dc got their mlb team where i am from in virginia were trying to get the team also. they had people buy season tickets by putting a thousand dollar deposit down. they had like over 10 thousand people do that and they had sold 25% of their suites too. well then we didn't get the tema and they had to refund the depostis obviously. so to me it is like we are nothing more then a stop between who he wants to sign with but who isn't offering enough money. so how do you get more money? say you are willing to sign with a team that is offereing a bunch of money and then sign with the dolphins for like a mil or two less but you got more then they originally offered and you get where you wanted to be. i hope that all makes sense and i hope i am wrong but why hasn't he signed?

It was quoted somewhere that he wanted to "honor his commitment" to the Dolphins and visit them.

RE: i wonder if brees is using us
 

right. because if you are going to sign with someone else it makes perfect sense to waste thier time and yours. bullshiiit

RE: i wonder if brees is using us
 

I think we're getting worked big time. If Miami offered 3 million more in guaranteed money than us he would have already signed and had a jersey with his name and number on the back. We may wind up getting him in the end but only because we overpayed for him. Brees and his agent are using us to get more money out of Miami and our FO doesn't realize it, and as a result we're waiting around for his answer rather than looking at other free agents.

RE: i wonder if brees is using us
 

exactly as we have signed noone yet

RE: i wonder if brees is using us
 

right you are

RE: i wonder if brees is using us
 

Why come here if we do not have a plan to fix the OL in order to protect that shoulder. It is not just one last contract he has to think about. But Spoon blows us off and if Brees follows, it supports the fear that the city is a major reason for not signing FAs. So maybe the NFL should have given us that extra cap exemptions that were discussed earlier in 2005. This could be part of the 20 million buy out plan the NFL put up for Tommy Boy. God only knows

Saints | Team does not reach deal with Brees
Sun, 12 Mar 2006 16:05:16 -0800

The Associated Press reports free agent QB Drew Brees (Chargers) left New Orleans Sunday, March 12, without a contract offer from the New Orleans Saints. Brees said New Orleans' rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina would not dissuade him from coming here. He said he helped build programs in Purdue and at San Diego that had been down and that the challenge of rebuilding in New Orleans appealed to him. He is now on his way to Miami.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I wanna see some 1 come to new orleans.... a big name FA !!!!

Re: RE: i wonder if brees is using us
 

...on a related note, by drafting Leinart, the Saints actually fill 2 spots, since Leinart is a lefty, and Jamal Brown would be covering Leinart's blind side, eliminating the need for a tackle, as I think Gandy can handle the "reverse" right tackle position...

Interesting observation on the "Reverse Right Tackle" Tobias, I hadnt thought about that really. I'd like to see us get Brees but not at 10 mil a year... and it does seem like my wish list is getting thinner and thinner while we sit and wait, wondering when theyll sign anyone... someone!

RE: Re: RE: i wonder if brees is using us
 

Brees will be a Fin. The Offense Line coach that built his protection in San Diago is where....You guessed it Miami. He improved that line last year. With Mc MIchael's and Chambers who would you rather be thowing to?

RE: Re: RE: i wonder if brees is using us
 

I think Brees is ours for the taking, just you watch, Brees will be a Saint very very soon.
Dame I'm getting excited about my team, The Saints
Cha-Ching
