Have you noticed you make a different Drew signing thread daily?

Doesn't matter, he plays either way. Just gives Saints a direction for the year after.

I disagree. I believe he plays under the tag, as opposed to sitting out, but it Does matter. If we don't sign him to a long term deal this year, I don't see it happening next year. Which, would suck.

I'm thinking under the tag as well

I said tag just because of Payton being suspended. I also want to see how Brees performs without Payton being there before we morgage the farm. Don't get me wrong I think Brees is great but I truly love my Saints and only want what is best for years to come. There will be the Saints long after Drew is gone.

I just hate the thought of him going somewhere the year after. Especially since we don't have a 1st round pick next year and there are really not a whole lot of good QB options in the class. I am floored that this has not been long taken care of.

Having Brees is the best option for us to win a Super Bowl in the next 6 years or so. Even if we do have to sacrifice some talent and risk having a rebuilding spell, which we will have anyway once Brees leaves.

Long term deal. It's the only way really.

Get over it, Dude. You are getting frickin' weirded out. Take a vacation. Get over this obsession. There is ZERO chance that Brees does not sign a long term deal. Your incessant pessimism is really getting old. There is no way over the past two months that the deal would get done before this coming weekend at the earliest.
