Sun, 20 May 2012 11:27:07 -0700 New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said franchise free-agent QB Drew Brees' next contract needs to work for him as well as the team because his salary will affect the team's offseason plans for years to come. Loomis said he is confident the two sides will be able to reach an agreement at some point.
Sat, 19 May 2012 05:12:21 -0700 New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael said next week's organized team activities will not be run any differently than they would if franchise free-agent QB Drew Brees were present. The offense will work on the same volume of plays with QB Chase Daniel, who will take the first-team reps.
Sat, 19 May 2012 05:07:13 -0700 New Orleans Saints QB Chase Daniel has been penciled in to take first-team snaps when the New Orleans Saints open their first organized team activities Tuesday, May 22, with franchise free-agent QB Drew Brees staying away during contract negotiations. "I'm looking forward to it," Daniel said. "Obviously, Drew runs the ship. I'm just here to get ready."
Sat, 19 May 2012 04:44:43 -0700 New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said he isn't taking any of franchise free-agent QB Drew Brees' recent complaints about the slow pace of contract negotiations personally; however, Loomis added a new deal must benefit both sides. "I feel for him. I feel with him. He wants to be here right now. I want him to be here right now and we'll work hard to get that accomplished," Loomis said. "It's important to Drew, but it's important to our team. The magnitude of this contract is going to impact our team for a long period of time, so we've got to get it right. It's got to be right for Drew, but it's got to be right for our team as well."
Fri, 18 May 2012 10:45:30 -0700 New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson said he is optimistic a deal will be reached with franchise free-agent QB Drew Brees.
Wed, 16 May 2012 22:30:33 -0700 New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees said his contract negotiations with the team have become "extremely frustrating." The team placed the exclusive rights franchise tag on Brees in March, and the sides have until July 16 to work out a long-term extension. "It's been extremely frustrating for me," Brees said. "I don't think the negotiation should have been this difficult." Brees added that he didn't think there has been a sense of urgency from the team.
Wed, 16 May 2012 15:52:51 -0700 New Orleans Saints franchise free-agent QB Drew Brees could not say when he will sign with the Saints but did say he will be prepared to play when he does sign.
Tue, 15 May 2012 11:58:07 -0700 New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis doesn't expect any drop-off with QB Drew Brees this year in the absence of head coach Sean Payton, mostly because of the presence of offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, who has worked with Brees since 2002. "(Carmichael's) in tune with Drew, and he's in tune with Sean and what he is looking for offensively in terms of rhythm as well as scheme," Loomis said. "Sean's been able to mentor him as he's come along. He's grown each year, and he did a fantastic job last year when Sean was down. If not for that, I think that would've been an uncertainty with us - we'd think Pete could do a good job, but now we know." However, Brees is in a contract standoff with the team currently and isn't working out.
Sun, 13 May 2012 10:14:28 -0700 The New Orleans Saints likely will not agree to a long-term agreement with franchise free-agent QB Drew Brees before the start of organized team activities. The two sides have not talked in a month and it does not appear either side will initiate talks in the near future.
Sat, 12 May 2012 08:01:03 -0700 Updating a previous item, New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees did not back down from comments made by rookie SS Corey White, who said he looked forward to intercepting Brees' passes during practice. "To my guy Corey White. Love your confidence, but I will throw 10 over your head for every one time you get me. Make sure you're workin!" Brees said, via Twitter.
