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

I hope that my sarcasm was evident. Somebody recently brought up the "Pay the man" fans and how silly that statement sounds.

But how did Condon get what he wanted? It seems that Condon wanted a contract for Brees that was bigger than Manings. Most players hate the Franchise Tag and in Brees case, he'll be making a lot less. And he's no spring chicken. That's a lot of uncertainty.

I know there are no official salary cap reports, but is there anywhere to look at the Saints detailed cap figures? I want to see approximately what we have to work with and what needs done.

Condon represents both Brees AND Nicks. He knew that if a deal was made with Brees before the deadline that the Saints would tag Nicks. He made sure that wouldn't happen by demanding far more than he knew was reasonable. He also knows that he still has until July 18th to work a long term deal for Brees. Brees will still get his money and Nicks gets to hit the market, thus making Mr. Condon's pockets just that much fuller.

It seemed like a "screw you" from Loomis but like everyone else here, I have no idea what's going on.

Last offseason seemed terribly long with the lockout. This offseason may seem longer.
