The franchise tag usage: yet another thing that either De Smith, the player reps or all of them failed their membership on.

…I’m a Saints fan. @ 1st I was like, “PAY BREES WHATEVER HE WANTS!!!!!!!!!” Now, not so much. Saints offers r more than respectable & #9 will make more in endorsements than what the contract will pay. We love U, Brees, but i.m.o. you’re greedy…. Hurry up & sign w/ your greedy self so we can kill the competition! ***WHO-DAT’?!!!***

Mr Brees,

A majority of NFL fans have lost ALL respect for you. Your true personality has come out during this scandal and it is ugly.

I think that this is an attempt to set a precedent as Drew as tried to get rid of franchise tags for every player.

saintij ; You are so right we looking at millions of dollars so both sides are looking out for they best interest. They are dealing with millions of dollars here Drew Brees want the money and Brees knows what he has to do when he receive this money. Tom Benson will be looking for a Super Bowl Championship win, you right these guys own every penny. This is these guys job and they living and they body that are being beat up on plus the NFL don’t want to pay them when they get injuryed. So they has to make they money somewhere the happy they are the better some of them play Drew Brees love the game and he good at it yes he make some errors but not regularly he is a elite quarterback because he knows what pain feel like and don’t let get him down. What the people’s fail to realize if the Saints don’t keep him other teams are watching and waiting they will pay the price like they did Peyton Manning and I want the Saints to keep him together they are Super Bowl contenders.

because the money is millions not hundreds or thousands its suppose to mean a lot more …… why?

these guys give/ gave up a “regular” guy path to earn this money “playing” a game you “pay” to watch them play, then get pissy when they want to be fairly compensated? ……

sooooo you settled for 10.95 an hour instead of opening your mouth because you know your WORTH 12-13 per hour? just take your pay and be happy? your greedy wanting what your worth? …………..who you really mad at?

Can Brees sit down and shut the f up! Please worry about your contract and stop defending idiots who were warned to stop what they were doing on multiple occasions over the course of multiple years! No one owes u an explanation for the bounty or WMDs. He is starting to sound like a little kid instead of a high ranking member of the NFLPA which is supposed to represent the well being of all players not just the current you are playing for!

Where I come from, the innocent fight back when false accusations are made against them. Then, they get even.

It’s this kind of thing that’s pushing me farther away from professional sports. All of these athletes lose sight of why they started playing this game. It turns them into money hungry a-holes with a me me me attitude. I wish I had drew brees’ problem right now.

The mask is slipping off the entire Saints organization. The feel-good story for New Orleans was great, and I don’t know anyone who doubted Brees’ wholesome image. But all that’s been washed away a little and we see dirty tactics and just another money grab beneath. Where I come from, the guilty take their licks and lick their wounds in the corner for a while.

I understand it is sports but the comment of only a 20% increase and the salaries as large as they are it does sound a little silly when you consider the general public fights for a 3% increase on their base salary.

Whatever the outcome I personally believe this is what’s holding up the deal. After the hearing there should be nothing else to argue about.
