.

wow, demanding that kind of money will pretty much destroy a team.

He wants 1/4 of the salary cap

Saints are just going to have to start cutting people and hope that Brees can literally 'throw it and catch it too'

It's cool. Sometimes in my mind I am pretty much gone too. It happens.

Mr. Fax: I can't help but think that Brees' greed is tarnishing his reputation in an effort to not help the Saints' keep the nucleus intact.

Of course, I suppose it's also possible that Brees was hoping to become a free agent (assuming, perhaps, that the Saints would use the tag on another player). Maybe the environment over there was more toxic than we knew and Brees was looking for a way out.

However, you are far more familiar with that side of the house (the NFC) than I, Ms. Dylan, so I defer to your opinion on these matters.

Either way, nobody is looking too good over there these days. And I sure don't see how the Saints can remain competitive given the amount of hammering the NFL is about to lay down on their who dats.
