THEY TAGGED HIM!!!

Why is this a bad thing...

Brees will now only count for 14mil against the cap and with Smith re-structuring and possible re-structures/cuts with Ellis and Vilma we could sign everyone back and be in the running for massive upgrades on the defensive side of the ball.

Worst case is another team signs Brees. However, we still get the 2 first round draft picks and enough money to sign matt flynn securing the future of the team.

The tag is a win-win for the Saints only loser right now is Brees.

We tagged him as exlusive, no other teams can even negotiate with him.

But back to the point, if Condon was demanding 25 million and the tag is only 14 Million, we save a lot of money this year.

We can sign Nicks/Colston and frontload as much as we can to free up some cap next year for Drew's contract.

If you think Matt Flynn would be the future then I am scared as hell.
