Wow man, every post you have made lately sounds like a scorned ex-girlfriend or something....

Drew takes up less cap space on a tag than he would if he were signed, Nicks has a better shot at getting signed in the current situation than with a full Brees contract.

In the end it really doesn't matter how much the team has been in contact with him or not. Free Agency hasn't even begun yet. He is not going to sign anything with any team until after the "shopping around" begins and he can see what kind of offers he has. There would be no point in giving him an offer now, or back in February etc. Even if they offered him the MOON right now, he still wouldn't sign it, until he sees what other teams can offer. Plus the Saints don't even know the cap number yet.

I take this tweet to mean simply that he is physically back in New Orleans, which means he is probably visiting/partying with old friends and teammates this weekend, and since he is in town I expect that means he will likely meet with Loomis sometime during the coming week, once free agency has officially begun.

PS Nicks' agent is NOT Tom Condon, Nicks is represented by the same AGENCY as Brees but not by the same agent/person. People get that confused a lot.

Yeah Bushrod was made to look much better than he is because of playing next to Nicks and Drew stepping up into the pocket. Absolutely don't move Bushrod to LG. When it comes to Brown, he struggled miserably at RT last season when Strief went down... I'm a little scared of moving him to the one position on the O-line that Drew relies on the most for protection.
