Say what you want about Brees and his contract but...
 

he is still a great person. He was in South Texas this weekend for some reason, I just missed him at a nice restaurant on Saturday night and was pretty upset about it. My wife saw him driving to the airport, made a sign asking him for an autograph while driving and pulled up next to him. He pulled over on a South Texas highway, took a picture with my wife, and signed an autograph for me. Contract or not, he is still a hell of a person.

Excellent

Eh what do you expect from such a selfish, money, hungry ego maniac.
Im surprised he didn't give you the finger and hit on your wife.

That's awsome. Sounds better than the folks I met this week in Detriot. I was able to meet the crew from Hard core pawn. FYI Detroit is stil sore about being knocked out the playoffs

post pictures or it didn't happen :-)

Cool story man, I just wished that was mine to tell.

Here is my wife with Drew, and an autograph for me as well.

Thats awesome bro!!

Get those pics framed and on your wall. Definitely something to treasure in years to come!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!

Yeah, he is the face of this franchise. What a good man.

Don’t worry,he’s gonna get paid.

No doubt about it; he'll be a Saint the rest of his career!

Awesome pictures!

Great pictures Very Very Cool. !

Sweet!

Mitch you know something we don't ! ............................ LOL

I think a "How do you like those apples " is in order

They're going to get him signed, but first they have to wait on players suspensions. Once they know what the league is going to do, then they'll know what their salary cap issues will be. Keep in mind that players like Vilma could get suspended without pay, which means, he costs nothing against the salary cap for as long as he's suspended. That's money that could help pay the first year of Brees' new contract.

So, until that gets sorted out, he's not going to get signed.

Excellent.

Thank you for sharing this story, SaintsFan1313...

I feel like we needed a "feel good" story around here and this definitely fits the bill...

Heck I want a picture with your wife and her autograph . . .

DblBogey U wrong man, very funny.

haha. Shes a keeper, any girl that will chase Drew Brees down the highway for 40 miles to get an autograph for me is gunna stick around....plus shes not too bad to look at either.....

Ya got a good one their.

Nothing about Drew needs to be qualified by the contract situation. I find it somewhat amusing how hard core fans take business so personally.

In this scenario, everyone (except for Condon), is pretty much on the same page: get the best deal done that keeps Brees here until he retires. This may be his last contract, and frankly he and the Saints shared the risk on the last one. $60 million for 6 years for a potential HOF QB that wins your franchise its first ever SB is frankly chump change in NFL terms. There are probably safeties that are making more money.

We still have about a month before any real damage occurs. Loomis is still in the building, thank goodness. Nicks got his big dollars. So I believe that Condon got what he wanted. The Saints still got to participate in free agency. So all that's left is to get to brass tacks and get the deal done. It'll be north of $20 million a year. The question is by how much, with how much guaranteed over what time frame.

Think about what Brees has done for the city and the organization since he arrived. There is very little, especially anything about a contract, that will change my admiration for the man.

So there's no need to qualify "He's still a great person." There's nothing to indicate that he is anything but.

SFIAH

this post was for the the posters who were attacking Drew over not accepting the contract, saying he was all talk, greedy, etc. Yes this is a business, but just wanted to show them its not all business. He still cares about the fans......Mostly a feel good story to try and keep spirits up about the contract mess.....

Yep
