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

[SIGCHI222]

The NFL may have to step in and own/control the Saints* much like the NBA had to take over control of the Hornets if this keeps up. Stern is sweating bullets right now <What the hell have I done selling the Hornets to this Benson idiot?> lol

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.

brees has already stated that he will not play under the franchise tag. They'll give him the contract he wants, or he will not play. The Saints* cannot afford to go into yhis season without breea. Brees has the leverage. Sitting out a year isn't going to hurt brees.

He hasn't actually come out and said this.

I'm pretty sure under the new CBA if you hold out for a season you are unable to sign with another team for an entire year after that. This may not apply to players placed with the franchise tag however, could be just under contract players.

Saints*** are going to suffer this year regardless of what happens with Brees.

Honestly I have a hard time believing that. I sure fuging hope so but the Saints* defense actually got better this offseason and if Brees is playing they are fine.

I think people here believing the Saints* are automatically going to be poo next year is a terrible mistake. They are still good with Brees.

Didn't say they are going to suck, I said they aren't going to be as dominant.
