Seattle and their new coach will be interested in him. It will be a USC love fest.

Yeah sorry guys, the season has been so great that now with all of the Bonuses that will have to be paid out..
(Even Charles grants Feed his kids foundation)
Saints will pretty much be totally strapped after doing an honest redo of Brees contract..
Unless Reggie agree's to renegotiate his contract he's gone.
dumping Charles grant would be a good deal for saints since they'll be better off doing that with the uncapped season and his fillers seemed to have done his job better this season.

Im thinking Shockey will no longer be with us either.

Yeah, Saints fans, sign that man and lock him up through retirement. I may be a die hard Colts fan, but Im also a fan of football. You've got the key to success in #9, pay him what he's earned (he'll prolly give half back to the city anyway)

As for your boy Reggie...I gotta think he's gone. Electrifying at times, but 8 million for a specialty player makes no sense. Unless they plan on lowering his return action and increasing his rushing action, its just not wise to keep him.

The X factor.....an uncapped season. If the owners are willing to shell it out, they could find a way to keep him for at least one more year.

Wait a minute.... Shockey will be a free agent too? I thought we signed him to a long term contract?

There was also speculation that Sharper will be let go as well. Man, this sucks. Who exactly are we going to have left next year??? Geez.

Wait a sec on the bye Reggie talk. He will probably renegotiate his contract and Drew will prob sign for another 5-6 years. Just my 2 cents.

Rugby Saint II · 02-04-2010, 11:42 AM

Drew deserves better money and Reggie deserves less. It's simple math. I hope Reggie renegotiates his contract. Otherwise......buh bye.

Brees is smart and Loomis is smart- they'll find a way to get Brees his money.

Brees won't do anything to hurt the team, for example ask for a ton of money causing us to lose key players.

I think we might see a Loomis special here- kind of like the Carney deal, or Hollis Thomas, or the Millers last year. I see Brees staying on after retirement and making some big money and maybe taking less now.

Reggie's Stutter and politician like weasel out when that question was presented to him at an awkward moment by Dieon didn't instill confidence in me about renegotiating but perhaps he didn't want to get into all of that right now.

Drew's going to probably sign for another 7 years and retire a Saint and make the Brees family become the New Orleans new Royal Family.
