“Saints quarterback Drew Brees received last week the franchise tag.”

You could’ve gone several ways that would’ve been better:

1. Last week Saints quarterback Drew Brees received the frachise tag.

2. Saints quarterback Drew Brees received the franchise tag last week.

3. Saints Quarterback Drew Brees last week received the franchise tag.

But instead you went that way. Why?

He made it clear when the players were on strike(yes, I said STRIKE) when he made the comments of how he wasn’t worried about those that came before him or after him. Then he showed how two-faced he was by trying to backtrack off those comments.

He doesn’t care if the team has enough money to field a competitive team, he just wants his money.
He doesn’t give a flip about loyalty, he just wants his money.

He doesn’t care about retirees, he just wants his money. He is a greedy, two-faced, hypocrit.

And I actually like the Saints.

I honestly don’t see that happening. I think Brees will show some loyalty to the city of New Orleans if not the organization.

Now the Saints have offered him $20Mil per year, more than any QB has made, yet he turns it down, causes them to use the franchise tag, and thereby makes it likely that Nicks ( who helps protect his skinny butt ), Colston ( who catches passes in a crowd ) and Meachum ( who outruns almost everybody ) will not remain with the team. Meanwhile, the wrath of Goodell is coming, further reducing the team’s competitiveness with suspensions of players and coaches.

So it’s not unreasonable to believe that Drew will leave NOLA after next season. Not at all. Especially after a disasterous losing season which seems to be on the way.

After all, didn’t Manning leave the Colts over money? And Drew seems to be adopting the Peyton way – not the Eli way.

They were doing what work out in their best interests, whatever that might be.
