Brees growing 'frustrated' over contract

[MadHatter]

Brees is flat out a "dome QB"....looks great playing indoors, no weather, and on carpet.

Put him outside and his performance/record is meh

[Murph]

NO could wind up losing Nicks and Colston and have their star QB playing with a bad attitude because he was franchised.

lol

it's good to have options.

You think breezing2anotherSB is worrying yet?

Hmm losing Nicks and Colston?

Say what you want about overpaying for Deangelo or Charles Johnson, but the Panthers proved they watch after their own. This bodes well with bringing in free agents and making the Panthers a more appealing destination.

The fact that the Saints are horribly mishandling Drew Brees (literally their savior who single-handedly saved their franchise), makes me proud to be a Panther. Drew Brees is a class-act and a hell of a football player. Pay the damn man Saints....or don't and send your team back into oblivion.

yep. very good point.

looks like the panthers are the more loyal team to key players. it might hurt us, but it's worth it because you get that loyalty back and makes the panthers look like a team you'd want to play for.

Who wants to bet Cam gets a 7 year, bazillion dollar extension within 6 months of it being allowed to happen?

i wouldn't bet against it, esp. if we got to the playoffs before then.

they should just tag him, 15 mil is better than what his contract would demand, and in 3 years who would think he would be worth what he would be getting paid?

These guys are in denial.

Not all of them. There's a greater sense of "all is not well" for some of them than 3 weeks ago.

[jtnc]

Why do they keep dragging Drew into this?

Schefter's tweet should read "Saints and Condon remain well apart in their efforts to produce a long-term contract."

I suspect they already have a deal and it's just a matter of when to report it.

Again, I think they're waiting for the salary cap to be announced. In Loomis I trust.

Denial :lol:

i wouldn't expect anything less.

i guess if after my team had gone 40+ years of being irrelevant (most of it with bags on our heads) and then had a hurricane come and rape our toilet bowl of a community and then we lucked out and got a great QB and a coach who was able to stay sober enough to make a great offense happen and hired a DC who talked their players into taking late hits and cheap shots along with a good deal of sympathy from the league for the crap they endured that caused them to turn a blind eye to really douchey play from their defense and then they managed to win a superbowl i'm sure i would feel the same way.

btw...i'm rather proud of that run on sentence. top that.
