Carl Nicks 'disheartened' by lack of contract talks

I read this as Brees will sign for less but only after Colston (Signed) and Nicks (Franchise Tag) are secured...

I like that, that right there has to tell you everything is going to be alright ... it's brilliant on Brees' part too, 'take one for the team' if the Saints can get the job done, but leave it open to take care of himself if they can't ...

The Saints would never do that. If they franchise Nicks before a deal with Brees is done, Brees can either soak the Saints or just not sign and become a free-agent.

The only way we use a franchise tag is after Brees is signed, or on Brees himself if negotiations with Condon get nasty.

I totally agree with every word of what was said, it would be stupid for the Saints to do that, as much as I love Brees, I love my Saints more.
