If you put something in quotes that implies that the referenced person actually stated those words. What Brees was actually quoted as saying in that article was, "I don't know that it is something that will be done next week or before the end of the year or next year or when." Add to that the fact that according to the writer, Brees also said the talks were "amicable and ongoing" supports my supposition that both sides are in agreement and it is simply the timing that remains. The "when" of the deal will most likely be as soon as Loomis knows exactly what cap relief is needed in relation to further free agency and the draft. Nowhere in that article did Brees, or the writer, imply that there was any "if" involved. You added that detail yourself.

Now I know you're full of it. I added the actual article which you included when you quoted my statement. If you disagree with the article, take it up with the writer. But I stand behind what I posted. Loomis is dragging his feet.

I don't disagree with the article at all. It supports what I have been saying. You are the one that totally misrepresented the basis of the article in general and outright falsifying a Brees quote.

Right. Yet the article states word for word what I quoted. I see that arguing with you is like arguing with a brick wall. I'm so much smarter than this. I'll allow you to continue by yourself.

Here is the latest on Drew's contract. Notice how the player is quoted as saying: "He doesn't know when or if a deal with eventually be completed." This is bad business on the part of Loomis. This needs to get done, but I'm sure you will attempt to downplay it again.
