Brees Contract Updates ??? (1 Viewer)

[Da Beast]

Have there really been NO updates on Drew's contract situation?

I mean not even talks?

 

[Saint_Ward]

Yes, nothing has happened that anyone knows about.

The T-P reported as much yesterday/today.

They probably won't talk until closer to the 22nd of May.

The two sides are not even talking right now! Negotiations aren't even taking place!!! Behind the scenes, I think things have gotten ugly.

Believe me, if there's any contract talk updates with Drew, you won't have to ask. It'll be plastered all over this board.

[Boiler Jim]

My bet.

what happens on the 22nd?

The same thing as happened right before OTAs, and the end of the FA period, and the clarification of the 2012 Cap... Nothing.

Actually, You'll just see a message stating " server is busy"!

Mandatory OTA's. So, it would be the first thing Drew would miss that he really should be at.

Otherwise, they have until July 16th, after that Drew has to play for his one year tender... or sit out and lose a ton of money.

You'll know they are talking again when Condon starts leaking to the press that drew is "astonished" "bewildered" "stunned" "frustrated"....Loomis is ready to work this out. Condon will be Condon and will drag this out unless Drew reels him in. Peyton Manning's Denver deal went smoothly because PM was basically running that negotiation himself, not the typical Condon negotiation. Keep in mind that Condon has the Matt Ryan extension coming up as well. "A rising tide lifts all boats", even though Ryan will be slotted well below Drew's deal he needs the Brees contract to set the ceiling as high as possible. This deal was never going to be done before PM, Mario Williams and Megatron deals were set as they have in Condon's opinion justified the 23 million he is demanding and at the very least set a tangible floor. The Saints are well prepared to make Brees the highest paid ever, this thing will basically come down to if Drew wants to be seen as the typical modern day professional athlete or maintain his image as "savior" of this city. That choice is his and not Condon's....my prediction is Drew will choose the latter and have his cake and eat it too, highest paid ever and Breesus on May 21.

was this thread really necessary?

 

[KtoLV]

There needs to be a pinned thread for everything Drew Brees so that everyone can see it.

 

[TheGooch]

I am praying for the day I come to this website and I get the "server is busy" messege

 

[SaintBrad]

I imagine things got a little heated and aggrevating which is why contract talks ever stalled. Think of this as a cool down period so both Loomis and Brees agent can negotiate with cooler, level heads.
