Well, this is how I read this...
Drew has already decided that he is NOT getting a long term contract, he will not sign the tag, and will be sitting out this season. He is already trying to get money not due to him when he is tagged in 2013. I feel it is time we start now trying to get someone to replace him. I don't know if Chase Daniels is the answer.

I find it hard to believe that two years after winning the Superbowl that we are having these kind of conversations. Just unbelievable.

At this point it has little to do with his contract. Also... Drew can not decide that... That's for the Saints front office to decide.

Money not due him?

Drew is the spokesman for the NFLPA. This is not all about him. He has am obligation to the players he represents to get clarification on a third tag when more than one team is involved.

FYI... its too late to "get someone to replace him" if you expect to go anywhere this season
