Have you people lost your collective minds. I mean seriously, you don' t lose one of the top 4-5 gb's in the league. Im not saying we give in on everything, but you sugn the guy. End of story, you sign the guy. We are spoiled, spoiled by how good Drew us. Play a season without him and you'll see.

I have since I was old enough to know what a football is. He is the team, yes that makes other players want to come here for a championship, yes. He is the center clog of the wheel, yes. He is New Orleans, yes. But when the Saints did make him the Highest Player in the league, they turned it down. The man makes money, with the endorsements he gets along with that. The man is getting paid.
Now we are all not stupid, or naive on how this works. There is a pie, right you have what 52 people want a slice? how in the hell does he end up with half. Come on after we were told he would do whatever it takes to keep this team together, i do remember hearing that.
I know Drew deserves to be the highest player in the league, but at what cost do we do that. There isn't enough money... per cap. period. But I still believe he will be a saint, loomis will get it done, and if he can't then shame on you Drew and your jackass agent.

We aren' t winning anything without him. Yes, there has to be a compromise, but in the end, pay the man

But once again at what cost?? WE did TRY "THEY TURNED IT DOWN". iS IT because of what is going on with the franchise tags that was stated in this post? That is bull S... if that is the case, but once again faith in what BIG TOM and Loomis said... The deal will get done.
Us as fans will have to wait to see as to how, much the team gave.
