With the Saints and quarterback Drew Brees less than a week away from the deadline for doing a long-term deal, there’s a growing belief in some league circles that the lingering impasse won’t be resolved — and that Brees will ultimately play in 2012 under the one-year, $16.371 million franchise tag.

quote:

Of course, it may not get to that point because Brees may agree to show up for training camp and the preseason only if the Saints agree to sweeten the one-year franchise tender by promising not to tag him again next year, setting the stage for an even more compelling free-agency land rush than the Peyton chase.

quote:

The smart money continues to ride on the situation being resolved. But the smart money hasn’t been right yet on this one, and perhaps it shouldn’t be regarded as a shock if next Monday comes and goes without a long-term deal for Drew Brees

GC- there are many things I agree with you on...Saints, Tigers, Hornets, Braves....this is just something to add to the list. This deal has to get done it is becoming ludacris.

Tom Condon y'all.
He's the devil on Bree's right shoulder and he's so far convinced Drew to use Bountygate against the Saints and play hardball.

Don't know why nobody else sees it that way - Bree's is not being loyal to the Saints here. No way Tom Brady would ever pull this with the Pats.

Yall are just jealous that I'm right again.

Brees is being unreasonable like I was saying months ago.

So he has an offer to be the richest QB AND gets his fifth year, but he wont sign it?

He would have signed if not for that judge ruling in his favor last week.

Give Condon an inch and hell take a foot. This might get ugly now.

I'm pretty sure if this was the last hour he would sign it. Big contracts like this almost always go to the deadline.

How much of training camp has he missed so far?

The total number of days is about as frustrated/concerned I am.

FWIW, that has been my position since our last game.

Yup.

But still we/they post.

Only going to get more insane around here up to the 16th.

If 12:00 on the 16th rolls up and no deal then I will crack open the Bookers and pace a bit.
Till then gifs and barbs for all!

Looks like the 6 day period cycle is beginning for some around here. Not meaning you, goat. Got milk?
