In the offseason of their discontent, we’re inching closer to the beginning of the Saints’ organized team activities (OTAs).

They start May 22, and there is no indication that the team and QB Drew Brees are making progress in negotiations on a long-term contract. They apparently have not had substantial conversations in quite some time.

PFW correspondent Mike Triplett, a Saints beat writer for The Times-Picayune, reported Thursday that talks between the two sides “have been practically non-existent now for more than a month.”

Brees has already missed the first few weeks of the club’s offseason conditioning program, and it’s possible he won’t be there when the team gathers for practice on the 22nd.

No Breesus in Nawlins for the start of OTAs? I realize it would be a discouraging sign for some, but pardon me if I don’t gasp.

As long as Brees is in the fold by the time training camp gets under way in late July, I don’t see much reason for Saints fans to worry, and I don’t expect the Saints or Brees to allow this situation to explode into something that is really cause for concern
