When you sign a deal with a high powered agent like Condon you agree to let him handle everything that has to do with contract negotiations. This is exactly what Condon was trying to get. He obviously high-balled the Saints with his demands hoping that the Saints would tag Brees so his other client, Carl Nicks, would avoid the tag and be able to hit the open market.

Don't worry, he'll get paid now that Condon got what he wanted.

I don't have any ill feelings toward Brees. I just wish they would have come to terms. It'll still get done. Sucks we had to use the tag on Drew. This is business.

Well I predict this is Drew's last good year at best... its all down hill for him after this.

He had a chance to make 5-7, million this year alone. I don't see Drew being a Saint next year. This is the first dumb move by Drew Bree's. And the start to the end.

Time to move on and start rebuilding after this year. Its an all or nothing year, and we are off to a freakin' great start aren't we!

Its an all or nothing year and Drew has now have incentive to win a SB this year and really cash in next year... if he doesn't then we are parting ways and let the rebuild begin.

Sil-ly.

It's all over now. I'm coming Elizabeth.

Style: Besides Drew is really not that good. It is the system. He is an above average QB and would play like that in another system. In this system he is elite. If we get an average QB in this system he would be an above average QB.

Well, I have to admit that I'm shocked they couldn't come to terms and avoid the tag, although I'm not sure if the impending Bountygate had anything to do with this decision.

I would've rather seen them just put the tag on Nicks and put Brees on the spot and see if he really wanted to be a Saint or if it was all just a business strategy and lip service.

This is not really as bad as many of us are perceiving the situation as - yet - but it could turn out to be a really difficult situation come free agency.

I just feel so disappointed...

It seems like that might be a big factor. From where I sit, it seems like the Saints are scrambling to get things taken care of before the League takes it away from them.

Me too, my friend, me too. I really just don't know how to feel about this whole past two days. I feel like just found out Santa isn't real. (Sorry to anyone I may have broken that news to.)
