RUMOR: 5 Years, $40 Million will be Saints Offer

[Muck]

From Saints report. Again, no confirmation. Just a radio report. Take it for what it's worth right now.

We could match that, I'd think....

 

[dolfan3431]

8 mil a year for a top notch QB ain't bad

 

[RHoffman]

I say he's worth it...

hopefully Saban's flight will let them make a counteroffer.

 

[Prime]

They sure did give him alot of money. Do you think we can match that offer?

Thanks Muck

I think we could. If we indeed do match it, I don't think the Saints will match ours because they need to sign other players badly and they could just draft Leinart.

 

[Vcize]

Eh...for that much, let 'em have him.

 

[Samphin]

Pending a physical, We can top that, plus add in the fact that our team isn't poo and the lack of taxes in Florida and me thinks we can still get him!

 

[Scuba Steve 13]

We will match that. Brees will be a fin

 

[hotrod43]

I'm guessing once we dump Frerotte, we'll be able to match that

 

[dolfan3431]

Dude how can you say that! We need this guy. We never had a QB we can be excited about since Marino. We already let one all pro go in Hasselback. Don't let a nother go. Match the offer

I think we could. If we indeed do match it, I don't think the Saints will match ours because they need to sign other players badly and they could just draft Leinart.

:confused:

If we matched theirs and then they turned around matched ours, wouldn't they essentially be matching their own offer?

 

[Jimmy James]

5 years, $40 million seems like a low offer. It makes me think that Brees won't be playing this year, making this essentially an offer of $40 million for 4 years of play.

I disagree, I was expecting a higher offer from the Saints. If those numbers are right, I think we get him.
