Brees "close" to signing long-term deal.

A source tells the New Orleans Times-Picayune that unsigned franchise player Drew Brees is "very upset" he won't be able to attend the Saints' offseason program beginning on Monday.

With all due respect to Brees, he could attend if he really wanted by signing his one-year franchise tender. "It is very upsetting to him not being there Monday," the source said. "He wants to be there for his teammates." The Times-Picayune confirms that contract talks "have been practically nonexistent" between Brees and the Saints over the past few weeks.

That's all included in my piece also, including them as the source for him not attending. Thanks, Pap.

I'm already so sick of this offseason and the draft hasn't even got here yet.

The preseason needs to hurry up and start!
