I dont care if yall have heard this but I wanted to post it, its good news about Drew Brees and his chances with Miami. I got it at http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/9279193
Chargers quarterback Drew Brees has been given a doctor's note, trying to prove he will be healthy for the coming season.
And, just as important, for the coming free-agent season.
Brees is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at 12:01 a.m. ET on March 6, and his doctor, Dr. James Andrews, issued a statement that declared his patient ahead of schedule in his recovery.
"At this point, he is eight-plus weeks post-op and is ahead of schedule relative to his healing process and recovery," said Andrews, who performed rotator cuff surgery on Brees on Jan. 5. "He has divided his time here in Birmingham, Ala., working under our shoulder rehab specialist Kevin Wilk, along with rehabbing in San Diego.
"Our plan is to start him on an interval football throwing program at the four-month interval, which will allow him to participate in some drills during an anticipated May mini-camp."
With Brees on the road to recovery, teams are expected to enter a bidding war for his services. The two teams expected to most woo Brees are the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions, each team with significant quarterback issues the Chargers quarterback could solve.
But at this point, it now seems clear Brees will not return to San Diego. Look for him to be in Miami or Detroit, unless another sleeper team enters the bidding.
Also, if the Lions do get Drew Brees (which I doubt), then that just helps Miami get a better chance on drafting Jay Cutler
