If he was to be traded then the manner in which he gets traded is up to Drew and his agents demands.

Trade to a contender of the highest bidder is all up to him at this point.

It is all up to him.
OK... he is way better than Archie Manning.

Archie with Coach Payton, Drew would be lucky to sweep the floors...

LOL... I watched them both. Archie had good 2 seasons 78-79 but sucked the rest of the time.
Drew is still King.

Put Archie on the WORST Saints team Brees had to play with and Brees on the BEST Saints team Archie had to play with and see what happens!

Re: Looks like the Norman situation opened some issues with Brees?

Calm down

First the article is written by Mike Florio

The guy's reputation is to stir up by speculating the worst bad blood and project gloom and doom to sell papers. He has been saying Brees is washed up and greedy for years.

The Saints smartly are not showing their hand, particularly right before draft day. Drew will take less and deservedly retire a Saint (no Montana or Farve situation - they had strong backups and less ties to their city)

Nothing to see here move along

The reason we didn't sign Norman (and I am glad we didn't) was $53 million in guaranteed money - that is ridiculous. Josh is fortunately out of the division and Brandin Cooks will be happy. Between Cooks and Julio they will knock a few games off of the Panthers. Norman will now fade to obscurity (except when he is fighting with OBJ and DEZ) on a mediocre redskins team.

Drew isn't going anywhere and he isn't the greedy bastard they say he is

Well, I'm not going to say that I'm the biggest Mike Florio fan, but he is one of the few in the media that didn't rush to judgement re: the Bountygate Beatdown...

In fact, he has continued to reference it and pretty much called bullshinski on what Goodell did and how he did it; he still references it, not allowing it to die...

That said, I feel his article re: what's happened is timely and his analysis re: Brees and Tom Condon and their motives for leaking his willingness is dead on...

Among his valid points - if Brees was so interested in signing an team-first, accommodating contract, why did he not leak that or state that publicly before free agency began...

Or even last season when a left guard Clint Boling was available at a reasonable salary...

And don't think it doesn't affect the locker room - Junior Galette's tweet to Josh Norman of the Jimmy John's delivery car was a veiled suggestion to some of the resentment, valid or invalid, but very real toward's the Brees/Condon contract that limited the Saints in retaining players and acquiring needed fresh troops via free agency...

And for Florio, who has amassed a very credible media reputation to publish such a column, you can bet he verified there's definitely fire from this smoke...

He said out loud on multiple occasions last year that he would absolutely consider restructuring if it would help the team. I remember it vividly and there are threads somewhere here in the archives. Florio is just doing what sports reporters are paid to do. Generating interest and speculation.

What did Jr tweet?

Wow. So Jr is still butt hurt. Sounds like sour grapes. He hated being shown the door so much he is still taking shots. I guess it's a longer offseason when you spend a season on IR.

**** you JR.

Re: Looks like the Norman situation opened some issues with Brees?

Junior may be the only person in the world I really wish serious harm upon... and there are plenty of people who I don't much care for. That a**hole though.. if he stepped out into traffic and got smashed into pieces I would probably laugh.
