Like it or not he played on the Saints team during the alleged bounty incidents and switching teams won't help.

If he does want out he'll have to sit out this season and not play. This will be MEGA costly in millions of dollars he will not recoup during the remainder of his career.

Finally, as of last week Drew sold his home in San Diego, established another business in New Orleans and went before the City Council to ask for a zone variance, and is in active negotiations with the Saints front office which sent him another offer-sheet this past Friday.

These are not the actions of someone wanting to distance themselves with an organization, rather affirming hints he's probably staying for good.

Because of these evidential reasons, I firmly do not believe Drew wants to leave the New Orleans Saints for any reason, speculative or not.

It wasn't his only home is was his second home. His real home is still right there in San Diego. Jimmy Johns can run itself and be taken care of anywhere in the country. He could sit out and get a trade next year. If he doesn't want to risk injury playing under the tag he might sit out anyway. Sitting out is a better investment in the long run than playing and risking the possibility of getting injured and never getting a check ever again. Just for arguments sake Im not saying I think this will happen.
