Funny, I remember two years ago the media demonized the Pats for heading to an inevitable divorce between them and Brady. The media said the Pats were playing games with Brady and he may leave while Jim Irsay was going to make sure that Manning would retire a Colt and the Saints would reward Brees long before his contract expires and insult him with a franchise tag.
Two years later, Brady is happy and productive in New England, Peyton and the Colts are in the mist of a kinda messy divorce, and contract negotiations between Brees and the Saints are getting ugly with Brees very likely to be insulted with the franchise tag and at his age he might spend the next two years on it. Jason Cole is now reporting that Brees and the Saints are $5 million a year apart on a new contract and Mickey Loomis thinks Brees is a "very good" not a "great" QB.
