Drew Brees applies deadline to talks with Saints on a new deal

So we franchise him next year 2017.
That will be less of a cap hit than 30 mill he is getting this year.

Franchise him again the following year 2018.
That will again be less of a cap hit of 30 mill in 2016

Deal with a new contract when he turns 40

Two can play at this game.

I don't think we actually can play that game. In either '17 or '18 the 44% raise clause would kick in for a QB being tagged more than twice... so 25 million in '17 would be 36 million in '18... not that we would sign the first one anyway

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.

His cap hit if taged next year will be more like 43 million. If he wants that type of money I say go after cousins.

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.
