Florio understands negotiating tactics better than any of you. Brees/Condon are clearly making their power play now - there's no way they're going to repeat this whole ugly mess next offseason unless this drags on through the entire preseason.

And he is not being greedy, he should have been making over $15 million per year the last 3 years at least, but unfortunately there is no good way to compensate players who out perform their previous contracts.


Well there is but Brees didn't go the route the players normally use, holdout! Brees sucked it up and played for an absolute bargain the last 4 yrs. He derserves to GET PAID this time around.

He had offers to make him the highest paid player in NFL history sitting on his desk for the past 2 offseasons.

Stop propagating this nonsense.

How many practices did he hold out of?

How many games did he hold out of?

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Fact: Brees was not paid like a top 10 qb for the last 4 years even though he has arguably the top qb in the league during that time span.

Brees has be big time under paid and no he expects to get what he deserves. Oh by the way, saying Brady wouldn't do this is just silly. Both represented by same guy so both negotitions would be the same.

So what, its their power play but that doesn't mean its not outrageous for the saints under any circumstance to waive their right to tag drew next year. It really doesn't add leverage to float that out there when mickey just fell out of his chair reading it.

Steve I agree 100%. Brees deserves $$$ like nobody else in the league.

I'm not going to start watching the news just for that. Nothing I want to see on the news.

Maybe Brees just needs the time off to work on a new chant for this year? Last year sucked.
