Drew Brees...should we?
 

sorry, had to do it


the 'should we' thing has turned into the 'dilly dilly' of the off-season

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

Hmm, I dunno about this guy. He's coming off a severe shoulder injury from like 12 years ago. People say he's too short and has a noodle arm. Definitely kick the tires. See if there's anything left in the tank, if he comes cheap.

Per Total Access Saints offered Drew 22 million a year per Charlie Casserly on NFL Network just now.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

If that's true we got a bargain.

:bng:

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

That can’t be quite right.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

It's ridiculous. It's a pay cut. It's dumb if it's true.

$22 million isn't the number needed for Brees to help us win that 2nd Lombardi. The Saints are already $18 million in the hole if he goes elsewhere.

It'll probably end up around $26 million, all guaranteed, with an out in another year or two.

Worth every penny.

$22 million? That's crazy talk man!

I was looking for it to be 26-28 million. I figure he'll take less than Cousins, but not that much less. Whatever it is it'll be money well spent.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

He’s not going to take 22 and rightfully so. Pay the man 26 and be done with it. If they low ball and lose him then they get what they deserve.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

Or will he?
22 is Brady's cap hit this year

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

NFL Network just said multiple teams have had contact with Drew and his agent today.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

We'll just have to see... maybe they take care of him in "retirement" in three years. :bng:

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

Three predictions:

1. Drew will re-sign with the Saints.

2. He will be (once again) worth every penny.

3. People will complain (once again) he's not worth every penny.

Smash,

What happened to your previous post? About Saints fans going nuts over the next couple of days, Brees signing is nothing compared to what's about to happen etc, etc?? :confused::confused: Fake news?

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

That was a fake news twitter post... it's still out there but not wanting to post fake news here.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

Yawn. Of course they have. They also said on NFL Radio that it is a normal state of affairs. They call knowing there is no chance but it keeps avenues open with the agent, who is likely representing other players already on their rosters or whom they may be interested in getting.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

NFL network just said expect a 2 yr deal done today. Said saints offered 22 and Brees wants over 26. Believes the contract should split the difference and be around 24 a year.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

No, they never said that. They said they are guessing that the numbers would be around there. They have no more of an idea what has been discussed than you or I.

:rolleyes:

Good price both sides.
If that's the number, why has it taken this long?

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

Looking like two years for $50 million with $27 million guaranteed.

Re: Drew Brees...should we?
 

It's not the number and why should it have been done earlier? It was to no one's advantage to do it earlier.
