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.
