Jason Cole article: Brees - 3rd Franchise Tag? CBA Wording

Nope.

If this thread accomplishes anything, it is making clear just how ambiguous the wording is

There are opinions on both sides that seem to believe it's clear that it's meant one way or the other.

I'm no lawyer, but I suspect that anytime there's a debate over what a legal document "means" or "intends to say", you have a problem. And Condon, apparently, is taking full advantage of that.

I don't know who wins this debate, but I think Condon has a shot, and I think this is very bad news for us as fans.

The Condon observation is VERY GOOD NEWS FOR SAINTS FANS.

If Condon is right there is a chance the dumb position taken by the Saints FO gets turned around so the Saints might continue to have a top offense. Without Brees we will see a significant falloff in productivity and wins. We are much more likely to be without Brees given the extremely stupid and arrogant position the FO has taken. It needs a good slap across the face and this might do it (probably not).
