Getty Images According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New Orleans Saints have offered quarterback Drew Brees a contract that would pay him more than both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.  All indications are that it’s still not enough money. “‪Saints‬ have offered to make him a higher-paid QB than Brady & Manning,” said Schefter, per Evan Silva.  ”It has not been enough.” I’m not sure what Brees is looking for and I’m sure the Saints feel the same way.  It looks like he’s either being really greedy or he wants to win the mega millions.

Via Pro Football Zone  |  June 13, 2012
Getty Images According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, the contract talks between the New Orleans Saints and quarterback Drew Brees will likely go down to the July 16th wire.  If a deal doesn’t get done by then, Brees will have to play out the 2012 season under the franchise tag.

Chase Daniel enjoys thrill in Brees' absence

Via Fox Sports Kansas City  |  June 11, 2012
Sooner or later, the Drew Brees-New Orleans Saints contract impasse will end. The most likely outcome is a lavish deal that keeps the star quarterback in the fold for years to come.
