CJ is a freak, is he worth that contract , idunno the saints could'nt shut him down in a route.

I would be sad, too.

The thought that my great grandchildren might have to work would be so discouraging, I might not be able to complete a pass.

1. Trim the fat on defensive and Jahri's contracts. 2. Put aside $14-16 million for Drew (tag) 3. Sign Chase 1 yr in case all hell breaks loose - $1M. 4. Make a "respectable" offer to Nicks, take it or leave it 5. Sign Colston WITHOUT a bidding war! 6. Re-load on defense, LBs, pass rushers, in draft & free agency (coming soon). 7. After that, every dollar that's left in the pot in June/July, goes back into the final Brees deal, which he WILL sign. I'm really not worried about what all these people are speculating about. ESPECIALLY now that Nicks is gone, I think that is part of what Brees was waiting for.

If it's true that the Saints offered Drew 18 and he wants 23, then you have to decide whether he is worth it. At that price, I would say no too.

If you aren't willing to sign your tender and continue to negotiate a longer deal, then get your behind along with your crappy agent into Loomis' office and get negotiating. There's zero reason to drag this out and make it a prolonged process. Both sides know all the details to the premiere quarterbacks deals in the league that which gives both sides the foundation to build Drew's deal on.

Save some face and stop vilifying yourself Drew. You want to be here. We want you here... and there's plenty of money on the table for you.

We will be happy again. Drew will sign a long term deal within the next few weeks. After he explained the franchise tag with the Charges, I now understand why he doesn't want to sign anything but a long term deal. The word is they are waiting to see what Manning gets. However they should keep in mind that Manning has had 9 straight playoff appeances, multiple MVPs & has been to 2 super bowls one 1-1. To date Drew has not been able to win a playoff game on the road. The question they need to ask each other is that should Drew be paid higher than Manning. Drew deserves a great deal. I love him and want him to stay & be happy.

Is it time to play money ball?

Yeah, we need to get that fat kid from the movie down here to fix up our defensive roster.

I understand him not wanting to sign the tender. It didn't work out for him last time. However, he could sign one of those contract offers.

Yeah, let's re-invent the offense. That was our problem last season, right?

I'm PPPIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZEEEEDDDDDD.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
