Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 With all this talk of trading up for RG3 lets sign Brees instead. Talks are not going and they may franchise, then again they may not. "Brees is coming off one of the most prolific passing seasons in NFL history, setting a single-season NFL record with 5,476 yards and leading the league with 46 touchdown passes. Brees’ agent is Tom Condon of CAA Football, who negotiated Peyton Manning’s $18 million per year contract with the Indianapolis Colts last July. Given Condon’s experience negotiating quarterback contracts, and Brees’ importance to the Saints offense and his role in the New Orleans community, it’s a surprise that particular contract hasn’t been wrapped up already. Brees hasn’t missed a game due to injury during his six seasons with the Saints and, after turning 33 in January, is the same age that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was when he signed a four-year, $72 million contract in 2010. Guaranteed money is likely the issue holding up the Brees deal." http://www.nflgridirongab.com/2012/02/29/new-orleans-saints-and-qb-drew-brees-still-far-apart-in-contract-talks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnbillsbacker Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) With the past CBA, a team who signed a tagged player had to surrender two first round picks. Is that still the case with the new CBA? If so, I think the bills should attempt to sign Brees to a contract the Saints could not match. I don't think Brees will leave New Orleans, but you don't know until you show him the money. And for those who say why would he want to leave a playoff team to go to Buffalo, ask yourself why the Saints went to the playoffs. They went to the playoffs because of Brees, not because of the overall talent on their roster. Just like the Colts were a playoff team with Manning and stunk without him. It shows how important the qb position is. Edited March 1, 2012 by auburnbillsbacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's all posturing. Brees is the Mayor of New Orleans and is not going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It is statistically more likely that we will sign 1978 Terry Bradshaw than Drew Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills!Win! Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hey, Brees joined the struggling saints just so he could help them rebuild. Maybe he'll do it again and give it one last shot here in buffalo......... What am I saying? This will never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep2Moulds46 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I don't know what's funnier about this thread... the people who think Drew Brees would leave New Orleans to come to Buffalo... or the people who say "no thanks, we dont need him" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
