Do remember tho that if we were to tag him again...it could only be the "Non-Exclusive Rights Tag" meaning that he IS allowed to field offers from other teams and the Saints would have to match....which would do nothing but make him even more expensive than he already is because people like Jerry Jones would offer him something outrageous.

If he doesn't sign the tag, we get to use it again since we didn't use it a 1st time, right?

He'd be in the exact same boat next year. Although I'm not 100% certain of the new CBA rules.

And we would be rewarded with picks if someone signed him I think.

Look, I love Drew just as much as the next guy, but if we tag him and he doesn't play we don't pay. Principalities. If I'm in charge I'm just not going to let one player - and I don't care who he is either - hold the team ransom when he's been offered multiple fair deals.

And I'm not hating on Drew. I support him 100% right up until the deadline, but not one tick of the second hand past it.
