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...

Big Turk Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Actually what is holding up Brees signing is that for some unfathomable reason, Saints GM Mickey Loomis has taken the position that they believe Drew Brees to be a "Very Good" QB, but not a "Great" QB and are only willing to pay him "Very Good" money, which is about $5 million a year less than what a "Great" QB gets. I am not sure what planet this guy has been on for the past few years, but there are about 24 or 25 other teams that would give Brees "Great" QB money in a heartbeat... I have no idea what Loomis is attempting to accomplish here, but potentially pissing off your stud QB, is a dangerous game to play.

ProFootball.com Report Just pay the guy or someone else is going to. Mere days (weeks?) ago loomis gave an interview publicly calling him the greatest player in the history of the franchise and that he (loomis) would deserve to lose his job if he lost a player of that caliber. I've also heard the offer is approx 19m per. That's pretty great. Methinks Jason Cole is a hack that has had multiple issues with the saints front office.

papazoid Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 The New Orleans Saints and quarterback Drew Brees are millons of dollars apart on a new contract as the Monday franchise tag deadline draws near, sources tell ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The two sides, both of which believe they are making a fair offer, are facing a gap of $5 million per season for the first three seasons of the proposal, sources told Schefter. Brees, who led the Saints to their only Super Bowl championship and last season broke Dan Marino's single-season passing yards record, is seeking a contract that averages $23 million per season for the first three years of his deal, sources told Schefter. That's the same amount Peyton Manning's Colts contract averages the first three seasons. But the Saints are offering Brees a five-year contract that averages $18 million a year, sources told Schefter, which is the average that Manning and New England's Tom Brady are due to earn over the life of their deals. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7637479/drew-brees-new-orleans-saints-divided-money-first-three-years-sources-say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Changed my mind; Brees wants 23 million a year which is what Peyton was going to get for the next 3 years and Saints offered him 18 which is the average of Peytons and Brady's contract. This is more than fair and Brees needs to quit being so greedy. Guess he's afraid of being broke when he retires and doesn't want future players to take care of him.
