"I don't know how to say it," he says. "It wasn't picking one team over the other. I was blessed to have a few opportunities. When it was all said and done, coming to New Orleans seemed like the right thing to do. I didn't make a ledger and compare head coaches and quarterbacks. I just felt like for my wife, Maria, and I, at this moment in time, New Orleans felt like the right thing to do."
"I'm telling you, I didn't compare people," he says. "I know there was a lot of speculation like that. The truth is I just felt like this was the right place. Don't make it like a slap in the face. New Orleans was just the right place at this particular time. That stuff can change in the future. All part of the journey."

No, even though I am a big fan of Drew Brees (Boiler Up!), I am not lobbying for the Bengals to try to sign him. Even if it takes putting the franchise tag on Brees next Monday, New Orleans will not let him get away. But WhoDey fans should be hoping that contract talks between [...]
