The Saints still have until July 16 to work out a long-term accord with their record-breaking quarterback

Things will work out.

And Nicks can walk IMHO... Just like Faine, just like Goodwin and just like Kreutz.

Brees is the catalyst in this offense.

I'm only shocked we had to tag Brees... beyond shocked actually. As for Nicks, I absolutely agree... we'll be just fine. We've always done a great job scouting talent on along the offensive line so I'm not at all concerned with it.

30 ppg is 30 ppg no matter how you dice it. We're good.

Yup. And everyone listen up - there is still time to sign Brees to a long term deal. It will happen.

Not only am I not shocked by the tag, I fully expected it. There was no way that they would come to a deal without both parties making a valid effort. Condon had no intention of giving the Saints a chance of tagging Nicks and the only way to accomplish that was to force the Saints to tag Brees instead. You could see it from a thousand miles away. Loomis was given no shot whatsoever.

I agree, felt the same way, I have been feeling for a long time now that this mysterious holdup was all about NOT letting the franchise tag get used on Nicks. Players hate the tag.
