Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk writes that a “source with knowledge of the talks” between the Saints and QB Drew Brees are anticipating that the negotiations will “go down to the last minute.”
The two sides will until July 16th to reach an agreement, but Florio adds that “there’s no reason at this point to think that Brees and the Saints won’t have something in place by July 16.”
The Saints will need to get Brees on the field at some point in the near future, and the recent injury to QB Chase Daniel may add some extra incentive. Previous reports have indicated that they’re only $2 million apart, which seems like a small amount of money to be squabbling over at this point in the offseason, paired with the suspensions that the Saints are dealing with.
