Is there any possibility that this bounty scandal, coupled with the Brees contract negotiations, could turn Brees against the Saints enough that he could leave?

No way!! I know it is a defense thing but I am quite sure the whole team knows what was going on. This is only shocking to us and others because the media and NFL make it sound like we were trying to send people to the hospital.

That is pretty close to what was going on.

And you don't think any of these other teams weren't trying to do the same thing to Brees. Just for starters, example #1, Green Bay game, right around the 13min. mark of the second quarter, twice, GB tried to hurt Drew Brees. The first was a high, low hit on Drew just like the one they're complaining about with us against Farve. Example #2 just a play or two later, Matthews pile drives Drew Brees to the ground, same play we got called and fined for against the Falcons. This is all complete BS and if no other teams get the SAME EXACT TREATMENT by this POS commissioner, then I'd think there is room for a law suit. I can go through ALL the other games of the season and come up with NUMEROUS times other teams did the exact same thing to Drew as we did to any other QB and they get nothing??? BS!!!

So THEY would have you believe!

No.

No, I think Brees knows bounties are simply defensive guys having fun, and that it doesn't change the way any players approaches the game at all.

He's not stupid enough to make anything more out of it.

Can you do that? How much does that count against the salary cap?
