Jason Cole article: Brees - 3rd Franchise Tag? CBA Wording
Brees has let this matter become ego and his agent is out of control now. If it goes beyond July 16th or he doesn't sign the tag at all and sits out the season boy ol boy.
That will indeed end the Drew Brees era in the NO. The public perception will turn on him after July 16th just you all watch. If I was Loomis and he sat out the year I would tag then trade his *** the next season too. I would show him that the business side of the house is a beast. The more Condon goes off the ranch the worst it's gonna get Drew.
I don't know what Brees is thinking but if he doesn't sign the tag or has a lengthy in season holdout public perception will change and it will be so vicious. If he doesn't sign and sits out the year you have told the Saints that your time in the NO has ended and they will expedite your request to leave.
And on the tag the precedence is that the team you are currently on has to tag you 3 times not 3 times total from different teams. Drew trusting in Condon will not end well for you...I hope he realizes that. If Loomis doesn't budge then every other Gm will from now on handle Condon's players he represent so badly.
