Brees,'I will be beyond stunned' if deal isn't reach with Saints

I think the figure will be somewhere in the middle, meaning we will have to give up something. Brees is a great guy but I don't see him bending too much and rightfully so, he's earned it and without him the Saints are nothing more than an average team at best.

I don't think that is completely fair towards the other 52 players on the active roster every single week, or towards the staff who spend countless hours preparing for the games, but I do agree that no one can argue that Brees isn't a significant part of the success the Saints have had since 2006 - and one without which it would be tough going forward.

Still, I don't think we would see a similar situation with the Saints if Brees went down for an extended period of time as it were with the Colts this season missing Manning - they are too well coached and managed in order for that to happen, but it would be tough nevertheless.
