THEY TAGGED HIM!!!
 

it just said it at the bottom of the TV on NFL network they franchised Brees.....

this is horrible

Yes it is, this REALLY sucks.. goodbye Carl Nicks, maybe goodbye Marques Colston.

Can this still be reversed until the 5th?

Good! Now Brees only have himself to blame when he gets sacked by an interior lineman during the season.

God I´m mad at the moment... WTF is going on?

Eh, I think we can still work out a deal with Nicks. I think we went ahead and used the franchise tag encase Roger Goodell did something like take away our franchise tag, which would have left us in a situation without a guarantee on Brees. We may still work out a deal with Brees in the coming days.

Is that still possible to work out a longterm deal with Brees and then put the tag on Nicks?

No. But we still have enough caproom to work out something with Nicks.

WOW ! I guess he's in it for the money too

Worst Offseason Ever
 

Wake me when this nightmare is over, okay?

This is un-fricking-believable.

Well then what about Brees next year + Jimmy Graham? I think the Saints had in mind to sign Brees lonterm, tag Nicks and then let him go next year after drafting his predecessor with the first pick in the draft...
