It doesn't matter if the deadline is next month, the fact of the matter is- they did this to him.
I'm a Steelers fan, so I'll use this as an example- Roethlisberger leads them to a Super Bowl title in '05, in '07 THEY sign him to a $100+ million contract.
Or even the Cowboys before that signing Romo to a $100+ million contract- and he isn't winning them crap in December/January, when it truly matters.
I think it's fair to say that without Brees, the Saints maybe aren't still a laughing stock (like Cleveland), but they're definitely NOT Super Bowl XLIV champs without him.
In the midst of the bounty scandal, you'd think they'd be doing their best to avoid any negative press, and they'd take care of the biggest factor of making them the caliber they are today- and the man who has done a great deal for that area as well. But no, they choose to be tight-wad-penny-pinchers.
If I was Brees, I'd be pissed that they weren't putting top tier QB pay on the table for me. I'm glad he's dragging this out and not settling for less, and shame on them for making this happen and NOT taking care of him from the get go.
To me, it seems all the pieces are falling into place as to why the Saints were such a joke for so long. Just pay the man and lie to everyone and say it had nothing to do with the dollar amount, it was just contract language, you tight-wad-pricks!!!
