Please stop the Brees contract talk on this board

This Saints thing for a fan like me seems way to simple to have gone on this long. It's like the taking the most menial task you have to do as a husband ( like cleaning autumn leaves out of storm drains, or getting oil changes on you and your wife's car) and just waiting a year too long to do it. And now as a fan, I actually feel like my wife when she walks outside and sees the S%&t not done!!!!! It's time to get this house in order already, I honestly believe if Drew Brees had signed before Mike Vick we would be in a better situation because 4 yrs and 90 million dollars wouldn't sound like a slap in the face. Now it does!!! And BTW all the people with DREW BREES will never leave the Saints glasses on. You realize that brees isn't the one negoiating the deal right...... it's this guy

And he doesn't care about what we've created, or what Drew has done for the city, his job ( and people he is the best at it ) is about how much is it worth to you, and how much is my cut gonna be bigger if we take our talents elsewhere!!!! And Condon has a rep people!!!! He walks in contract meetings like this

Mike Tyson Goes Mike Tyson - YouTube

and leaves teams decimated and looking around to see what happened like this

Marshawn Lynch with the greatest TD run in playoff history? HD - YouTube

So please dont telll me not to be nervous, the nervousness won't stop until I wake up and Drew and Colston are signed and Nicks is franchised!!!!

You are talking about 10s of millions of dollars. There is nothing simple about coming to terms for an amount of money like this. I know when you see a number like 68 million it seems like a million dollars one way or another is meaningless, but a million dollars is a million dollars and not meaningless to anyone. One thing Loomis is paid to do is save the organization money and cut costs whenever he can. If Loomis took the attitude of "Hey it will only take a million dollars to sign this guy" with every player (x53) he will lose the organization 53 million. I know its hard to wrap your heads around money that big, but a million dollars is a LOT of money no matter how much money you have.

Yep, its all about resource allocation. A couple extra million thrown Drew's way is likely gonna prevent some key free agent player we really need from being bale to be signed.

Every dollar counts, and the "pay the man" attitude is the surest way to destroy this teamin the long run.

I agree, and that is exactly why I'm worried. Because there may be some team out there that will "Pay The Man". And if the offer is big enough, and if we're not willing to match it, you have to think that Drew will consider it, like I said earlier, because he is a business, family, and union man. He will take care of number one first. If we're not willing to match that big offer, I could see him leaving. Now, I'm not saying that's what's going to happen, I'm just not going to be at ease with the whole situation until I see a signature on the line.

There is always a team out there that will 'pay-the-man' ... that's where I'm hoping things like playing for a contender, playing in a 'destination' city, the fans, the team and the organization all come into play ... at least in keeping guys like Brees & Nicks.

This is the part of sports I don't like ... you want players to stay, but you can't begrudge them getting paid either ... in the meantime, as a fan, you just wait ...
