Unfortunately, the longer we wait to sign Brees, the less likely we'll be able to franchise Nicks.

Nicks is our best O-lineman, we don't wanna see him walk away just because we wanna piss off Jerry Jones.

true, but don't you think they have the deal in hand and are just waiting to see how much the other players cost? My thought is that they plan on giving 15 million, plus whatever is left after signing who they want. You have to figure Drew would give up a million or two to keep Nicks and Colston

Question- can we afford to franchise Nicks? we already gave his linemate the highest OL contract ever. Making Nicks top 3 or 5 or whatever franchising is would be expensive. Not sure 100% how that works
