at the bottom of this article it says that brees has not signed the franchise tag that the saints put on him and that he could conceivably sit out 2012 if he doesn't get what he wants. obviously with the saints in the position they are in, they kind of have to give brees what he wants or there is nothing to gain from this season.
if a player doesn't sign the franchise tender, does he have to sit out that year until his next year of free agency? or could a team like say (cough cough) the bills offer a boat load of picks to the saints and sign the contract that brees wants.
not saying this is likely, but that would be a mario-like upgrade to the offense that i think would make up for a lackluster line of depth.
if the bills are thinking, "what the hell, let's try and win it this year for the old man." wouldn't think be the exciting move? do the bills have cap space to sign $23MM a year for 5 years?
