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.

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

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.

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

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...

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.
