Any news on the Brees hearing?
 

The franchise tag hearing? I can't find any news on it anywhere. Thanks.

It's now scheduled for Wednesday

They sure change things around a lot.

:lolup:

What is this Google you speak of?

Is that today !

My .02 on this.... This is from a legal mind frame... i am no lawyer... Just an average joe schmoe...

1. This is an ambiguous contract. "Courts abide by the rule that an ambiguous contract is interpreted against the party who drafted it. In other words, the party who did not draft the contract will be given the benefit of the doubt so to speak. "
Interpretation of Ambiguous contracts - Interpretation of Contracts - Contracts

2. The CBA is a contract between the NFLPA and the NFL... Not a player and a team. This is the reason I feel it was written with out a 3 Tag to one team consideration. Had this been in a contract between Brees and a team than I would read it differently. The CBA is not team specific in any of its clauses that I can see.

:-P

i willing to put my nuts on the line and say that the contract is done (minus signatures) and as long as drew is not signed he can talk to payton. him and payton are putting game plans together so drew can relay this to carmichael/ vitt.
**i did hear this from my mother in law who works for Dr Finney also...confirming my theory. i know mother in laws arent credible source but its the only way for coach to communicate with the team right now, so it makese sense t me

I speculated this very thing a while back but it didn't get much play here. I still kinda think it could be true.

Would Drew risk alienating his fan base over a little time with Payton? Anybody that doesn't work for the NFL ought to be able to accomplish the same thing.

These players dont have a personal connection with the fans like the fans do with the players. Its about winning and they could really care less about what us fans think.
