I think he said that, at least I think I read about it somewhere...

Who knows anymore what is what... so many threads in so few hours...

Whoa whoa whoa hold up a second. This is the same Kaare Johnson who also had an "impeccable source" who said the Hornets sale was a "done deal" to an out of town buyer, and it's been weeks since he "broke" that story and absolutely nothing has come of it. So...

I am also livid. Maybe Drew and I are soul-mates.

No, I guess not, because my fav Saint is still Archie, and when I say I will always love the Saints and want what's best for the team, I mean it.

Brees and the Saints have until July 15 to hammer out a long-term deal. Ok then July 15 you'll have a deal.

Drew your words ring HOLO. What about the team and keeping it together. Your not going to sit out.

I too want to hear & see Drew saying he is livid.

QBREES9 · 03-05-2012, 11:22 PM

Lets go knock on his door. If anyone see him out in a resturant they should ask him. Hey Drew what gives ???? Drew you livid ?

Hell they'd do in that in New York.

New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees does not intend to sign the franchise-tag deal offered by the Saints, CBSSports.com reported Monday.

WIST-AM in New Orleans, citing sources in the Brees camp, reported that the record-setting quarterback is "livid" that he received the franchise tag.

..
Brees and the Saints can still negotiate a long-term deal, but if one is not reached by July 15 then Brees must either sign the franchise-tag deal or hold out.

The franchise figure for quarterbacks in 2012 currently stands at between $16 million and $17 million, but that could change depending on what happens with any potential Peyton Manning deal.

The Saints' decision to use their tag on Brees adds another twist to what has been a surprisingly contentious round of negotiations between the team and its quarterback, who broke Dan Marino's NFL single-season passing record two months ago and led New Orleans to its only Super Bowl championship two years ago.

If he doesn't sign it put Chase in and lets move forward.

Looking at Brees stats with the Chargers compared to with the Saints I wonder how much Paytons system have to do with his success.

A lot! Crusader, A whole bunch!
I've said it about the others, and its true for Drew also.
Leave Sean Payton's system, and your stock goes down, way down.
Players will fade away into mediocrity - some never to be heard from again.
Sean Payton is no god, but he does know how to position players to get the
most from their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Drew has been a BIG
part of that, and so has Chase Daniels. I believe he could get it done because
Payton wouldn't try to force square Chase into a round hole. Payton would
scheme around doing the things that he does best.

Somethin' just doesn't sound right here. There has got to be more to this story than money.
