When will the Drew Brees contract get done?

i know that a lot of people are making a big deal over the contract and him not being signed yet, but tbh when you get up into the 21-25 million dollar range the small difference in what contract to give him can go a long way in terms of signing other players. I think Loomis is handling this well by trying to milk the deal.

I totally agree. What MAJOR (or minor) contract in the NFL between player and General Manager has not turned out "frustrating" for at least the player?

Basically your skill and worth to the team are broken down into dollars and cent$ like a piece of cattle. But that IS the nature of the game and how players want to be represented - through performance based contracts.

Players like Colston etc. were not inquiring about contracts making them the highest paid players in the history of the NFL, therefore their contract negotiations were less cumbersome. Drew needs to understand this, but I also think his recent comments were for publicity to notify Loomis etc. to make contact with him.

Patience by WHO DAT brothers and sisters...
