falconidae Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Wonder if Brees holds out of OTAs? Wouldn't think so, but didn't think they'd have to use the franchise tag on him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAINTSfan Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 the overall worth of the contract was never a problem with brees.The problem is the money he wants in the first three years.Peyton gets 18 million guaranteed in the first year. Brees wants 23 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnasty Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I was coming to start a similar thread about this topic. It will be very interesting to see how these negotiations play out between Brees and NO. I don't doubt that a deal will eventually get done; but if I am the agent for Brees, I'm going to NO's front office and telling them some things that they probably don't want to hear.It'd probably go something along the lines of, "Manning just got a 5 year deal worth $95 mil. He's got all sorts of questions surrounding his health and his ability to play. We KNOW my guy can play with the best. Make this a 9 figure deal."I personally have not been keeping up with how things have been playing out between Brees and NO, so I can't speak as to what exactly they're asking. I will tell you this though, I think the price for Brees probably went up just a smidgen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethos Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) I say give it to him and move on!There is no New Orleans Saints. It's the Drew Orleans Saints. You might as well pay the man since he is virtually the team itself. Edited March 20, 2012 by IHateDunta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
