No. What he got was his other client, Carl Nicks, on the open market ... maybe. There may actually be room to make a deal with Nicks now and work out a backloaded deal for Brees later. He can still get Drew the long-term deal anytime before July 18th. This goes on all the time. Brees is the same person today as he has always shown.

They still have time to sign him to a long term deal. I read that Brees said he will not sign a Franchise Tag agreement. If they do not get him signed by mid march he will not be able to attend any OTA's or training camp events. This will force Loomis's hand. I just hate the way this feels. I wish Drew would have a press conference or do an interview where we can actually see & hear him.

Interesting that there is no Tweet update from Drew ...

This is the most CLASSLESS thing the SAINTS have done since the SEAN PAYTON era.... BREES played for PENNIES while less talented QB's got paid big money and the only thing he asked was not to get the TAGG!!! On the flipside, this will allow us to be able to sign NICKS and possibly COLSTON, then pay BREES next year.... LETS HOPE FOR NO INJURIES!!!!!!!

Point is he's is far from every having to worry about money...ever...
But he chose not to sign. That's fine. Here's 14.5 MILLION for a year. That alone means he never has to worry about money ever again...PLUS what he's already made in salary, bonuses, endorsements, etc. IF he chose not to sign then to hell with it. Chase is the next man up. I love Drew. Don't get me wrong. But at some point you gotta draw a line and defend it. |
C'mon Man...
