Football is a business and i don't expect him to give money away but the saints are not trying to cheat him. They are not asking him to take average starting qb money. Does he have to be the highest paid player in the league? Isn't being in the top 3 enough. I'm not saying he has enough money, nobody does, but he shouldn't put the saints in cap trouble because of his ego. I would like to see brees practice what he preaches about team and commitment. One of the biggest problems i have is when he says he won't sign the tag because its doesn't protect his future if he should get hurt. Well last year when the saints wanted to make him the hightest paid player in the league he said no lets wait until after the season. So didn't he do last year what he said we won't do this year for 6 million less? But this year he cant do it because he wants to protect himself. Its bs and i've lost a lot of respect for him.

amen!
