The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

the better it is for us. Am I the only person on this board that feels this way.

RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

Not really, it makes me more nervous. It's like buying a car. I wonder whether Brees and the Dophins are in a back room somewhere talking about the football equivalents of clearcoat and rust protection.

good one BMG...How about extended warranties or service after the sale

RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

I feel that if we were Brees' first choice, he would've signed by now. Miami's his first choice and if he can't get what he wants there, then he falls to us.

RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

Yeah thats my feeling as well, but consider this we have more room to wiggle in the cap if we sign him and dump AB, and when was the last time a FA did not follow the money

RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

That's what I'm thinking Gold. I think that if we were offering $3 million more than the Dolphins, and he still hasn't signed, then there's some kind of obstacle we have to fight through. Obviously a lot of people would want to live in Miami instead of N.O. currently because Miami is considered one of the nicest cities for pro athletes to live in, but I also think it has to do with us wanting to draft Leinart. I think Brees is saying to himself "why would I want to leave one situation in San Diego (which is German for a whale's vagina) and go to the exact same one in New Orleans?" I think that Brees and the Dolphins are trying to work something out right now, and I sure as hell hope it doesn't work.

...the longer we go without hearing from Brees, the longer the Saints hold on looking at other high profile free agents because they are not sure if they are going to have the cash or not...

... and most of the really good ones are already gone...

RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

Um i dont think its better for us we are losing some FA that would could of signed.................

Ask me again this time tomorrow. :o

RE: Re: RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

Brees has been in Miami since yesterday. The way I see it, if he was going to sign with them, he would have by now.

RE: Re: RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

as a car salesman...warranties and service plans actually save people money, and put money in my pocket so back off!!haha

i think brees is just worried about us potentially drafting leinart. payton needs to tell him that the only qb he has to worry about is amac and that we plan on drafting hawk to make the defense much better. payton is just trying to drum up more interest in the 2nd overal pick.

I ahve to agree Wheelman

RE: Re: RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees...
 

i think brees prefers miami and is giving them every opportunity to come close to our bid. then he will sign with them. if they don't he will sign with us. but i don't even think they have to match or beat us jsut be in the ball park a little more.

Re: RE: Re: RE: The longer we go without hearing about Brees
 

And I have to agree with him. He wants to be in Miami over N.O.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: The longer we go without hearing about B
 

Yeah, I thought since yesterday that we were being used. His first choice is Miami and if they offer him a deal close to ours he's going to sign with them. I think Miami and Brees are trying to work something out right now, hopefully we'll know soon how it went.

Saban and Mueller are no dummies. They visited first with Brees and then told him to come see them after the Saints had their offer on the table. Mueller may be dillusional at times, but you can bet Saban is NOT. Brees went to Miami after the Saints visit to increase his paycheck. What I worry about is another Brooks and his attitude of show me the money and let me smile all the way to the bank and hell on the TEAM and FANS! At the BOLTS he was hungry and out to prove something...his payday for that is coming!

What the Saints have going for them is MONEY and Peyton who will coach Brees to a higher level (hopefully).

What the Dolphins have is all the beautiful people (not to mention Ricky Williams...LOLOL). Brees can see himself hobnobbing with Shaq, Tiger, Marino, and all the beauties on South Beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone of us would like to be sitting on South Beach sipping a rum and diet coke (skinny *****) or cuba-liba with $8-10 million a year!

Not me. South Beach is ugly and overcrowded. I'd buy my own beach instead!

I agree. I remember the first time I flew into Miami on business many, many moons ago. I rented a car and started looking for my motel. I got a little lost and stopped a couple of times to ask for directions. Nobody could understand what I was saying. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone and somehow my plane landed in Cuba instead of Miami.

I do feel that the longer Brees is in Miami the better it is for the Saints. I feel that he would prefer to play there, but the difference in money is too large, and his agent is trying to close the gap. If the money were good enough, he would have already signed there.

I have a gut feeling that we are going to end up with McCown, though. That would be the typical Saint move. It is going to take a coach that can pull off a miracle despite the scheming, money grubbing people we have sitting in the FO.

what we have now at qb is basically zilch......
we are gonna need a backup and i have nothing against josh as one.
i was looking at miami's cap and what i see is 6.3 mil.
depending on how they would structure bree's contract, they still don't have a lot to work with. this is probably the main holdup. i thought brees had chosen us, but it seems not the case. and, i have to agree with others that if brees does'nt want to be here, i don't want him here either. when all this first started i read into it that brees was just looking for the most money and a life long contract. now, it seems to be the team of choice, almost the most money, and a life long contract. well, probably today we'll find out if that's true. if it's not true, you'll hear brees has left miami without a contract......smitty

it almost makes you yearn for a situation to develope such as miami dealing for culpepper and brees coming back here and being told, ahhh,,, we changed our mind, no thanks.....

even if we pick up brees, we will still have to draft leinart. i dont know if any of you remember how piss poor he was before rivers was in the picture and his job was on the line. we will need matt just to push brees.
