This is actually bad news for the rest of the NFC south and brilliant by the Saints. They can now take a lower cap hit with Brees and have $$ to sign Colston and Nicks. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the plan all along. After signing the other two and with the Cap potentially increasing they can then sign Brees to long term deal. Loomis again showing why he is best GM in the league.

Brees has to sign his franchise tag offer. He could sit out the year and be a free agent which New Orleans can't do anything about. Even if he decides to play this was far from brilliant. Pissing off your quarterback and calling him a very good quarterback instead of a great one is not the way to keep things togther. Besides next year it will cost you 19.6 to franchise him and the year after 23 million. So all you did was insure he is here for a year not insure the future looks bright. Plus Nicks isn't even being offered a contract, he is gone. And Colston will want 9 million a year and I doubt you pay it. Loomis showed he is clueless and frankly I expect him to get fired in the next several weeks. Obviously you are eitther trolling or clueless yourself. Frankly I think both.

Sorry to keep giving you guys the facts that conflict with your fantasies about Saints demise Check out what Carl Nicks is saying for himself. Man this has to hurt!

Just spoke to #Saints G Carl Nicks, who is obviously relieved to hear he won't be franchise tagged. ... "Hopefully they do want to sign me. Maybe its part of a greater scheme: Tag Brees, sign me, sign Colstpn. We'll see/" Nicks said he's definitely still willing to re-sign with Saints and hopes it will happen.

The last time you were here you were touting how much Bress loved New Orleans and how a deal was just around the corner. Nicks was going to be tagged and Colston signed no problem. I said you were going to either pay Brees or tag him and lose Nicks and Colston too.

Well here we are and so far I am right and you are totally wrong. Tell me again why anyone would listen to you or care what you have to say. You have less of a clue about your team than people do here and frankly we don't even care about your team. The next news flash, the cap isn't going to increase. Teams already can roll over what they didn't spend last year and a number of teams have 10s of millions to spend under the cap. No way they want to raise the floor or increase the cap. Frankly they are glad teams like the Saints are over the cap. Helps to level the playing field.

hahaha I knew Nicks comments would get to you guys.

Yeah just like the Brees comment about things were just about worked out. How did that work out. Nicks is just covering his bases. Are you really that naive or just stupid??

[Montsta]

If Nicks requirement is to be the highest paid guard in the league, it means that Wharton's massive contract is actually helping to screw the Saints. I've always said he was worth every penny. Thanks big guy.

Brees could even make it worse by going the Julius Peppers route. Not signing his Franchise Tender until long after the draft and Free Agency is past and only signing as camp arrives in July. The Saints will not know what their staus is at the most important position on the field. Or he could simply just sit.

Either one of those options would be outstanding. :D

lol be great if Brees played and halfassed it too.

[rico6]

Oh you think I'm "good" huh. lol, next year is gonna be great for the NFC South.

Well the Panthers.

[ed bell]

Damn...I've been slinging pie left and right with all these amazing threads about the pooty Saints. Who said the off-season was boring?

[cdandi1]

Saints have already lost Nicks? LMAO What team did he go to? Oh that's right he is still with the Saints and has publicly said he wants to stay. As far as the salary cap please do a little homework before posting uneducated remarks

A source with knowledge of the situation tells Profootballtalk.com the league and NFLPA are "scrambling" to increase the 2012 salary cap.

Provisions in the new CBA have left teams with less cap space than they were anticipating, prompting the NFLPA to seek to "re-do the numbers." The league has apparently shown a "certain amount of willingness" to cooperate with the effort because it "doesn’t want the players to think they got a bad deal." A resolution is expected within the next 10 days. Mar 3 - 11:25 AM

LMAO!!! Gtfo clown.

[rayzor]

wow. if he does sign it, just wait until they try to offer him another contract.

pretty big insult to the man that saved them from the toilet bowl.

force him to be here and make him take $7mil than what he had turned down.

i wouldn't be surprised to see him not sign it or at least wait all off-season, sign it only on the condition that they don't slap another tag on him and then go to a team that is serious about paying their talent and that isn't run by douche coaches, a sleazy GM, and an impotent owner who can order his employees to stop doing something and have them ignore his order.

Interesting thought. The scenario where he signs with a guarantee of not getting Franchised again.
