Here's a really crazy thought.....what if this was all part of a Grand Plan? Brees is franchised in case Goodell overreacts to the "bounty" issue, and Brees' salary under the Franchise Tag allows them to sign the FA's they need to keep the team largely intact? (ie: Nicks and Colston) Brees and his agent have an "agreement" that the Saints will ensure he is properly paid after this whole thing blows over.

OK...maybe this is stupid, but when you're grasping at straws...GRAB "EM ALL!!

I don't think thats such a far fetched thought. I almost feel this is exactly what happened. If we were going to Franchise Drew all along, we would have done it earlier.

A nice thought, but in my current state of depression I have to deem it as wishful thinking.
