When will the Drew Brees contract get done?
 

Just a quick question to see when everyone thinks the Drew Brees contract situation will get resolved. Personally, I believe it will happen in late June, but that's just my two cents. I wonder what the actual situation is now. How far apart are the two sides? Still $2 million per year? Who blinks first?

Also, check out this article on Bountygate (or Evidencegate):

Roger Goodell blasted for lack of transparency

Due to the salary cap, he will play under the Franchise Tag this year.

I don't know when, but there is a deadline for getting long term deals done with players who have received the franchise tag.

Friday July 13th is my guess. Will go down to the wire but will be signed

Its gonna be a late one!

In the meantime, have a beer.

Great idea my friend. I'll drink to that!!!:patos:
Cheers mate.

I bet not. If he does not have a contract by the deadline, I bet he sits. I hope I'm wrong and he gets signed, but I don't see him playing for "Tag" money.

I can't see Drew playing under the Franchise Tag and I don't see the competitor in him allowing him to miss a year; both sides will have to compromise or one side will have to give in...

The fact that we are treating the best QB in our teams history in a fashion that one has to give in is BS...He , or we , should not have to give in...PAY THE DAMN GUY, without him we are CRAP again.

I disagree! If Brees would have got what he wanted from the very beginning [23 mil per year], we wouldn't have had the cap space to sign Lofton/Hawthorne/Grubbs. Maybe one of those, but not all three, Drew needs to compromise a little bit and we have a very competitive team.

There shouldn't be anymore Defensive breakdowns in the playoffs, like the 49ers and 'Hawks!
