New Orleans Saints fans are not stupid people’s like some of you thank they are they love Drew Brees. But New Orleans Saints Organization has a very smart general manager Mickey Loomis, and Drew Brees knew they offer him highest paid player in the NFL before the season was over he turned it down. Nothing wrong with wanting more money but if the organization offer you what they know that would make you highest paid in the NFL take it. 19 to 20 million a season is a lot of cash. We all are human we make mistakes but telling your fans you love the Saints and trying to broke at the sametime is not love. New Orleans has a honest fanbase they are lovable people’s but you can’t BS them they love Brees so much the only one that’s hurting is his own self. He knows they love him to with so much going on in New Orleans this offseason we don’t know who trying to set who up. So good luck Drew Brees!!

What has this country come too, when NFL fans find it annoying that an athlete is trying to get the biggest contract the market will allow? When you apply for a job, do you consider yourself a scumbag for requesting the most money you can get in salary? I guess that’s different, c’mon man!!!!

This has nothing to do about what drew brees has said, it has to do with the NFLPA’s baseless claim. Get over yourself.

“Brees has built up plenty of equity in New Orleans and elsewhere over the years. If Saints fans take the time to see through this one, it could all be gone in the blink of an eye.”………

Florio you’re giving Stains fans WAY too much credit. Brees knows he can stick it to the Stains because he does everything he can to keep their attention focused on “I want an explanation” and the bountygate and not on his greed.

The true Drew Brees showed during the CBA negotiations and they are showing again. Guy is looking more and more scummy by the minute

Brees has a carefully crafted public image that was assembled by a highly paid PR firm. Now that we are getting a glimpse of the REAL Brees, it is not a pretty sight. The team should sit tight until Brees agrees to the current offer – if he doesn’t, the entire blame will be placed on Brees’ shoulders. I personally don’t believe he is man enough to take it. He will fold like the B**** that he is.

How can anyone like this guy. He is only for money. One trophy doesn’t make you great. Fix your birthmark and make a mark in the NFL its all about the rings ask Marino

I’m a Saints fan and I live in Louisiana. The only people who are blaming the Saints in this negotiation are the morons who didn’t know there was a team in New Orleans until 2006 (Brees arrival/start of being good). It’s the same people who were Cowboys fans until then and will be Cowboys fans again after Brees is done. People who actually follow the Saints know that Brees is the reason the deal hasn’t happened yet. Love Brees, and I know this is his last big deal and he deserves a big one, but when you are turning down $19-20 mil a year, the team isn’t at fault. If you can’t be happy with $100 mil, you won’t be happy with $110 mil.

The Saints also had been leaking that Brees wants more money than he actually has demanded.

Brees is really pulling out all the stops to get a HUGE deal. Really looking more and more like a shady character the more these contract talks are public. His ego is out of control and is certainly holding that team to ransom in a small market and obviously need him more than they need him. Quit being greedy, shady and egotistical.

Golly!! The NFLPA making outlandish and false claims?? Whoda thunk it!! After all, they are all such upstanding play by the rules folks. Just ask the Saints and ex Saints players like Vilma, Fujita and all. And De Smith, WOW!! Never would have thought he would say something that was blown out of proportion or a lie. Guy has never done anything like that before. I am just shocked!
