Either he signs the a long term contract or just signs the tender.

But Brees is never going to sit out a year at this point in his career. He’s very mindful of his legacy, his status amongst the games best spinners, and his potential spots in the record books.

Even if Brees does the unthinkable and sits out 2012 the Saints can STILL franchise tag him again in 2013 if I’m not mistaken.

Brees can handle the offensive game plan, and do you think he won’t audible out of any call that comes from the sideline? This has to be the worst front office move in the history of the game!

A couple reasons:

1) One of the final sticking points before the new CBA was signed reportedly was that the named plaintiffs were seeking to be exempt from the franchise tag for the rest of their careers.

If this is indeed true, Brees would be the first (and maybe only)guy to be screwed by any repercussion from it even being suggested.

2) If he does actually sit out this season-and I am pretty sure Florio mentioned this- and it is true that he can’t be exclusively tagged for next season, would anyone put it past the league to have a wink/nod agreement (collude) among the teams to not try to sign him away from New Orleans?

I figured the Saints were trying to flex their muscle as a newly respectable franchise by playing hardball with the best player in their franchise history, but I don’t think they’d be that stupid and/or stubborn.

WTH! He is the “star” of the team and he’s being treated like he’s a bum! New Orleans is really pissing off fans!!!

He’d still get paid but the team will not succeed if he sits out all of training camp and pre-season.

He has already said so. And I don’t think he’s really desirous of a long term deal anymore with the Saints and is therefore not interested in anything they wish to offer. So he will not play this year at all. In the 2013 season he will be somewhere else, and I think I know where.

I need an explanation! :-)

Seriously, I would love to understand how a guy who broke the yardage record last season and has been the savior of this franchise still does not have a contract. He is clearly one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

I don’t know how his teammates will feel if this continues. Unbelievable.

Brees wants big time bucks. The last time he played under the tag he got hurt and was screwed by the chargers so i cannot really blame him at all.

He thought he had this thing wrapped up.
