this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Drew has all the leverage. Might as well pay him now even if we can't get much of a cut to help the team. It's only going to get worse....

Re: Drew Brees applies deadline to talks with Saints on a new deal
if he was francised next year his cap number would be 44 million no way you can pay a single person on a team sport and feild a decent team .thats moronic if it was to be done. like i said before i love Drew to death and greatful for all he has done for us but i think its getting time to move on to the future as great a he has been you can see he is losing some of his skills.

Re: Drew Brees applies deadline to talks with Saints on a new deal
Posturing. In the end he'll sign somewhere between what he wants and what we offer.
If not, I'm ok with moving on if necessary |

Re: Drew Brees applies deadline to talks with Saints on a new deal
I do wonder if the front office is seeing what happens next year. Play well/show signs of contendibg get him a new deal. Another 7-9/8-8 and just go into full rebuild mode with plenty of cap to do it.

Re: Drew Brees applies deadline to talks with Saints on a new deal
As it stands
Ryan Nassib Mike Glennon Kirk Cousins Are all FA next year. Not saying any are franchise QBs but if my theory is right about thr front office waiting to see what happens they could be worth a look Of a EJ Manuel and Geno Smith and we can all pretend its the 85-05 again |

Re: Drew Brees applies deadline to talks with Saints on a new deal
I stand corrected. we can not play that tagging with Drew. I forgot we lost the arbitration claim in 2012, Crap
That’s the closest Brees or his agent have come to pointing out the reality that, if the Saints allow Brees to play out the final year of his five-year, $100 million contract, the circumstances will change, dramatically. They’ll change thanks to the arbitration claim filed by Brees after the Saints applied the franchise tag to him in 2012, which resulted in a ruling that the next application of the tag to Brees will be the third of his career.
