news: Brees doesn't want to play for Saints

BREES DOESN'T WANT TO JOIN SAINTS​

The scuttlebutt in league circles is that quarterback Drew Brees doesn't want to join the Saints, but that he's talking to them in the hopes of driving up the offer made by his preferred destination, the Miami Dolphins.

Word is that the Saints envision Brees as a short-term starter who would handle the job while Matt Leinart or Vince Young or Jay Cutler get ready to play. As a result, the Saints are offering the kind of deal that Kurt Warner signed two seasons ago in New York as Eli Manning got ready to play -- a two-year contract that is essentially a one-year deal.

The problem is that the Fins don't want to pay the same kind of money in 2006 that the Saints are willing to invest. Instead, Miami is giving Brees the opportunity to earn big money over the long term.

So the Saints are banking on Brees' shoulder being fully healed in time for the 2006 season, and the Dolphins are being more cautious.

In the end, Brees' best play might be to take less money in the short term with an organization that is far better equipped to succeed over the long haul.

Works for me.
 
even though this is just a rumor, guys - I never thought Brees really wanted to play for NO anyway. And neither did most of their fans, either, according to their message board.

Brees needed to at least listen to all offers, though. I really feel he will sign today with the Dolphins!
 
:hysterikill: :mor911::mdfin: :dedolfan: :rawk: :band2: :band:
 
Maybe Brees is doing to N.O. what John Randle did to us a few years ago. Use them as a bargaining chip.
 
hmmm, one year in NO and get released or benched, or Start in miami until youre 33....tough choice
