No movement on Brees talks - Brees has had highest paid player in NFL deal on table since 6/11/12

They are milking us for every penny, the money that will be needed at other positions when they begin to struggle, we will now not be able to address those positions |

We don't know exactly what is holding the deal up, maybe its the finer details of it, maybe Drew wants a bit more than they have offered. Or like someone mentioned maybe its the up front $$$ or the guaranteed $$$. Whatever it is, I hope they get it hammered out soon and we can relax and get ready for training camp to begin.

I think he wants a load up front. A huge sum up front and he signs.

It's about the guaranteed money...
...and I'll say it - the deal won't be worth it, play him under the franchise tag this year and turn him loose next season... If he get's hurt at his age and his health hx, we will be crippled with that contract... We've got some up and coming players that are gonna need salary cap room for their contracts... I just don't like where this is going and Brees needs to be the voice of reason and close this deal... |

Be glad he is holding out.......
If we wasn't, it would have been his thumb that was broken and not Chase's... Best thing to do is to ignore all the rhetoric from the people you would normally not pay any attention to, but because "Brees contract" is in their article or tweet everyone reads it... Let this play out.. |

Its not so much about the loading as it is the guaranteed that Drew wants. Front loading screws up cap and Drew knows that, guaranteed does not screw up cap space. |

We could sign him and trade him. I love Brees but at 33 how many more years are truly left, #1 picks for x amount of years we may get lucky. I don't like being taken advantage of and if this article is true that is what he he is doing.
