New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is in Washington D.C. for today's critical negotiating session between the NFL's owners and players.

As a vice president of the NFL Players Association, Brees has been at the forefront of these labor talks, and he spoke out to the fan base about where the players stand via Twitter on Friday morning:

"To our fans - I give you my word that we as players are doing everything we can to negotiate with the NFL towards a fair deal ... The NFL brought this fight to us - they want $1 billion back, we just want financial information to back up that request ... They refuse to give that information to us. They think we should just trust them. Would you? ... We have a responsibility to our players - past, present, and future, to advance this league forward, not take 3 steps back. ... I am very sorry that you as fans have to endure this. Football is more than just a game for all of us. We will keep fighting...always"
