Fox Sports' John Czarnecki: Brees overestimating his worth

Put the fair contract on the table 19-20 million a year with a big signing bonus with very good guaranteed money...if he doesn't take it make him play on the tag. If he sits out we still get a 1st and 3rd for him next year and we can take those picks along with our 1st and go up and get possibly Barkley. Sean Payton, Spagnuolo and Barkley is a legitimate contender.

I don't see how we get a one and three. Under the new CBA, drew would be no closer to free agency. He'd be bank looking at the same situation next year. It'd be a lose- lose for both sides the way I read the new rules.
