All that it means is that those players don't want to be stuck playing for the average of the top 5 players at their position for the year.

Honestly I don't blame them they are all trying to one up themselves to be the highest paid player in the league.

Think about it... That is a year they won't be or delay being the highest paid player in the league. That is all it really means. IF they really want out they can be franchised only so many times then they have to be a FA under the current.

I am not losing sleep over that and its so petty it won't become apart of the final deal... I'd put money on it.

Well said Euph. I'm reading through this thread and not sure why everybody is freaking out. No player wants a one-year deal; they want the security of a multi-year deal. Brees still has one year left on his contract, and doesn't want to be tagged. Am I missing something?

Yes. And if I can add - what Brees is doing now is for the players of the future.

Anyone watch the recent HBO special; "Curious Case of Carl Flood"?

Brees basically wants the same thing.
