Saints franchise Brees, Nicks could hit free agency!

New Orleans Saints tag Drew Brees with exclusive rights franchise tag - ESPN

So this is good news for us and hopefully we get to kick the tires on Nicks and make him an offer.

Jap, stop jumping up and down and get to working on contacting Pioli to discuss negotiations! ;)

They line is busy!

This is very bad news for the Saints. They were hoping to close the deal on Brees so they could tag Nicks and sign Colston, or vice versa. Now without that option both are likely to hit the Free Agent market and instead of keeping both players they could end up with neither.

And now they could be in big trouble with this "bounty" scandal as well. ...

This offseason has the potential to be very good for us. Gotta open that check book Clark!

If we sign Nicks, that really gives us options of what to do in the first round ... Namely trade down. We wouldn't NEED Decastro, and we could drop down to the end of the 1st round.

Forget Manning lets spend money on someone we can keep.

THIS!

Pro Football Focus says he only had 12 pressures on over 700 pass plays and is a powerful run blocker as well.

This would be awesome if we could sign him.

If it came down to us only being able to sign either Nicks or Manning this is a no brainer.

Would be so awesome having Carl nicks!
