THEY TAGGED HIM!!!

FinSaint · 03-03-2012, 06:35 PM

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.)

I think this is what people are having the hardest time with...the fact that Drew just may not be the person they thought he was.

The fact that he actually let the tag him is actually good for the Saints from a money stand point. They now have 5 mil extra.

The fact that people are going to be calling him an idiot for not signing earlier is not going to be good, but I don't think he ever wanted to sign a long term contract to stay in NO.

Maybe we can all lighten up on the Breesus thing now.

I have a new chant for Drew...

Drew: I WANT MY MONEY!

Team: HOW MUCH...5?

Drew: NO

Team: 10?

Drew: NO!

Team: 15?

Drew: NO!

Team: 18?

Drew: NO!

Drew: I WANT TO BE THE HIGHEST PAID NFL PLAYER...YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Team: YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
