Brees, as the Ideal Raider

QBREES9 · 05-04-2012, 01:08 PM

"If there's one guy that I was around that I think exemplifies what we're looking for in an Oakland Raider, it would be Drew Brees," Allen told the Contra Costa Times in an exclusive interview.

"When you look at his height, weight, speed, it might not be the most impressive. But what the guy is, he's a tough, smart, competitive, instinctive football player.

Yeah that's we were saying about this time 6 years ago after signing him. That's what we'd say again about him if we could get him resigned!

...MORE positioning from Brees' agent Condon for a bigger contract. Create competition............

There is no competition with the tag. Brees either plays in New Orleans or he sits in New Orleans. There is no Oakland.

I think at 33, at his peak, Brees sitting out would be a disaster. A 34 year old QB that sat out a season devalues him in the NFL.

Someone will pay big money for him, but not a front loaded long term deal he's looking for in New Orleans... then again, look what Condon did for Payton Manning, an injured QB that didn't play a down last season.

neugey: I hope this never happens but they would need to pay the saints more than they have available to get him. If they did somehow convince the team to t6rade him the saints would be able to buy alot of players. Thers always Chase Daniel.

This is SO ON POINT. Brees deserves more than Manning and Brady for his production over the last 6 seasons. He doesn't seem to be slowing down. His nexxt few seasons could very well be better than the last record setter, odds are in that favor.
