Drew Brees Cashes In With Huge Contract, But Saints Quarterback Might Have to Watch His Back

Drew Brees got paid in the biggest way as he became the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. Now, the Saints quarterback will have to watch his back. Following Bountygate and entering the season without the services of head coach Sean Payton, Brees and the rest of the Saints for that matter may have a pretty big bull's-eye on their backs.

New Orleans Saints: Drew Brees Is Battling Father Time

To be kind, the New Orleans Saints have not had the greatest offseason in the history of the National Football League.   This might rank as one of the worst off-seasons a team has ever had.   It certainly would be in the top ten of bad off-seasons in the history of the NFL.   A long protracted negotiation that broke down and resulted in Drew Brees playing under the Franchise...

Saints RB Mark Ingram Wants You To See These Scrogging Lizards

NFL training camps open in like 10-12 days so bear with players as they fill time over those days by not getting arrested for beating their girlfriends. Saints RB Mark Ingram is passing the time by uploading photos of lizards banging. Not kidding, this is what he uploaded to Twitter this afternoon. Maybe he’s just working on his photography skills. Whatever the case, this lizard...

Saints Nation: Nick Toon Signs, All Rookies Under Contract

With Nick Toon signing a 4 year contract yesterday, the Saints have now signed every outstanding player in limbo (Brees and Toon were the last two) and they will enter training camp with no contract disputes and every player under contract. The new CBA affords all teams the luxury of virtually set pricing for draft picks depending on where they were selected, so there is almost no...

NFL opposes Vilma's hearing request

The NFL has opposed Jonathan Vilma's request for an expedited hearing as he attempts to delay or overturn his season-long suspension. Tuesday's motion filed in U.S. District Court in Louisiana claims that the New Orleans Saints linebacker did not ''exhaust the dispute resolution procedures'' in the collective bargaining agreement. Vilma was suspended by Commissioner...

Report: Vitt denies existence of bounty program

New Orleans Saints interim coach Joe Vitt went a step further on Tuesday by denying the existence of a team bounty program in an affidavit filed in federal court, the SportsBusiness Journal reported. Previously, he had denied allegation against him, but claiming there was no bounty program at all between 2009 and 2011 widens the scope of his denial. Three coaches and four players...

Jonathan Vilma had three knee procedures over the past year

Getty Images According to Nakia Hogan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune,  an affidavit that was filed by Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma and team trainer Scottie Patton shows that Vilma has undergone three knee procedures since November of 2011. One of the procedures included Vilma flying to Germany in order to have blood-spinning procedure administered. Vilma and Patton are hoping...

Saints Nation: Saints' Cap Status for 2013 In Very Rough Shape

With the news of the new Brees deal and the talk of the Saints' cap status being in poor shape - I thought I'd look into the numbers more closely. The Saints were just over $2 million under the cap prior to the contract, which saved the Saints almost exactly $5.9 million worth of cap space for 2012. So as of today, the Saints actually have ~$8 million of cap room for this...

Saints’ Drew Brees treats fans to celebratory sandwiches

Shortly after officially becoming New Orleans’ $100 million man, Drew Brees grabbed some grub to celebrate. Whereas most — nearly all — athletes would choose to dine alone, Brees invited the locals out to his Jimmy John’s sandwich shop, which he opened last year. Who wants to join me for a celebratory #9 at Jimmy [...]

Saints LB Jonathan Vilma Seeks Federal Injunction To Block His Suspension

Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is asking a federal judge for a hearing Thursday on his bid to block his season-long suspension stemming from the NFL’s bounty investigation.

Berrigan...

Saints LB Jonathan Vilma Has Had Three Procedures Performed On Left Knee

As Saints LB Jonathan Vilma continues to fight back against the season-long suspension that will in essence rob him of valuable rehabilitation time with the Saints' medical staff at the team's Metairie headquarters, it was revealed that Vilma's career - suspension notwithstanding - could indeed be at a perilous crossroad. In a span of eight months - beginning in November...

Drew Brees is a Jimmy John’s Guy

It's fresh, fast and tasty T... The New Orleans star QB visited Saints headquarters to take a physical and sign the five-year contract that made him the highest average annual pay in NFL history — Brees then grabbed a sandwich at the Jimmy John’s sandwich shop he owns, where he posed for photos, shook hands and signed autographs — I wish this deal could have been done as...

Gregg Williams vows ‘I will coach again’

On a day when the Saints, as backup quarterback Chase Daniel put it, “got their leader back,” the main cause of their tumultuous offseason shed some light on his future.
