How Can Loomis Be Working On Contracts If He Is Suspended?

I just saw this article today, it says Loomis and Benson have been working hard on the Brees contract.

Because he dont give a fug, does what he want like a boss

[TheRed]

If I recall, their suspensions don't begin until the regular season.

[natty]

He's not suspended until week 1 of the season.

[ladypanther89]

Thanks!

So only Williams had his suspension enforced effective immediately?

[TheRed]

Williams was indefinite immediately. Payton didn't have his begin until his appeal was over.

[ladypanther89]

Wonder if Goodell did this specifically so he can get the Brees deal done.

Good Guy Goodell?

[TheRed]

Not even goodell could help those incompetent idiots sign brees. They've only had over a year to do so.

Who gives a sh!t thread of the day

very true--

but at the same time I see their dilemma,

it's either:

A) Keep Brees but have very limited funds for other core players/role players

B) Lose Brees and have better players elsewhere....NOT AN OPTION.

Well if they were trying to keep brees and pay him what he's asking for maybe they shouldn't have been handing out contracts to free agents this offseason like it was the lottery lol.

Oops guys, did we forget drew, poo ohwell maybe next year!

I think in their mindset they were trying to show Brees that they would still attempt to put a serviceable team around him even with the loss of free agents (nicks + meachem) and the suspensions that would have been doled out. Brees will NOT hold out. He is getting way too short on years and the money is too good to pass up, even if he gets tagged. I do think it would have been hilarious if Goodell took away their franchise tag along with those 2 picks as punishment for the scandals.
