A tale that has not received much attention because the season started may be the new contract that Saints want to get franchise quarterback Came Brees. Determining just how much Brees should use is a simple exercise, because he figures to slot among the $18 million annually that Tom Brady/Peyton Manning got and also the $16 million that Michael Vick got this offseason.
However, things hit a snag, apparently, and Brees stated he and also the Saints "tabled" any discussion of the new deal for the time being.
"You realize, I did not would like it to be a distraction," Brees stated, per Mike Triplett from the New Orleans Occasions-Picayune. "And in the discussions we'd, returning and forth, there is no progress really being made. I truly desired to just concentrate on football.
"It has been tabled for the time being ... and merely hopefully will resume when it's about time.Inch
There does not seem to be any bitterness between your two sides regarding a brand new deal -- Saints GM Mickey Loomis indicated he's been in touch with Brees agent Tom Condon and stated he was available to creating a deal whenever it exercised.
