Brees livid about being tagged...

biloxi-indian · 03-05-2012, 05:22 PM

Drew Brees is "livid" about being franchise tagged and not receiving a long-term contract, according to WIST-AM in New Orleans. The radio station cites sources in the Brees camp that he will not sign the franchise tag deal. Brees and the Saints have until July 15 to hammer out a long-term deal. If a deal isn't struck, Brees must sign the franchise tag deal or hold out.

Until I hear those words come from Brees himself, well, call me a skeptic!

Yep, lets wait until he's quoted as being 'livid'...and if he is quoted as being 'livid' then color me unsympathetic.

He can hardly be "livid" about it since it was his agent who forced the Saints' hand in tagging him, because they couldn't afford the front loaded $23M/year contract.

I doubt that the report is true.

I don't care... Bree's made himself the face of the league being involved in the labor agreement so he only has himself to blame.

Look at it from a business perspective... why in the hell would you NOT use the tag on Bree's you get him for something in the ball park of 16 millions and save 7 to 8 million of cap space. Makes perfect sense to me.

I just can't see him being unhappy with the situation unless he is pissed at his agent, lol.

Besides... completely honest here after this year... we move on from Brees are better seriously be looking at his replacement... He's 34 already. Its going to be all down hill for him.

I love one of those comments after the article. Trade Drew to Indy and draft his replacement. DO IT.

You're not seriously comparing the talent level of Brooks to that of RG3?!

Read it now, he will never win anything. 1 hit wonder. He is not even Michael Vick. He is more like Marcus Vick. He had a stud team behind him. You ever watch him play? Did you watch when he got hurt? The back up came in and BLEW UP!!!! 2tds, 151 yds passing on 7-11 passing.Your lucky, I was going to compare him to Akili Smith.
