Drew Brees States That He Would “Never Sit Out The Season”

In an interview with ESPN’s “Outside the Lines,” Drew Brees said that regardless of the circumstances he would not sit out the entire 2012 season.

“I’d never sit out the season,” Brees said Tuesday. “I love the game too much.”

Brees has until the last hour of July 16 to sign a contract extension with the Saints or he would be forced to play under the one-year franchise offer of around $16.3 million or he could decide to sit out some or all of the season.
