Drew Brees emails teammates, tells them deal is done

The National Football Post 15 hours, 19 minutes ago

By now, everyone is expecting a wave of positive news Monday when the NFLPA Executive Committee plans to vote to accept the tentative labor deal that has been reached with owners.

It’s so expected, in fact, that Drew Brees(notes) has sent his New Orleans Saints teammates an email informing them that the deal is done. Brees has been heavily involved in the labor process, from being a plaintiff in the Tom Brady(notes) case to working closely on matters to find a resolution. He's been an outspoken supporter of the players, so much so that Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe(notes) fired on him in his own special way.

Brees’ email, per a league source, includes a timeline for the Saints, including physicals on Saturday. So that means training camp in New Orleans should be firing up soon after that.

There’s a positive vibe about the labor situation. We’ve felt them before, particularly in the last few weeks. This one should have some more staying power. Player representatives will likely vote on the deal Monday and the process will go from there. Brees is confident it will anyway.

Cutler quits again:

Best decision he could've made.

Lay off him guys. He's experiencing some tightness in his ring finger and can't go on. The MRI showed a grade 2 tear (the QQ one)...

TEARS

I don't know if it counts as NFL action since everyone is going to be out of shape

Lockout done = time to cut Barber and Roy Williams.

Doubt RW gets cut, but wishful thinking.

[Stiker]

Well ESPN claims no one can cut players until Thursday. I expect results.

Spoiler: show

And by results, I mean broken dreams.

Boring and predictable.

[Man0warr]

No way they cut RW, he counts more against the salary cap if he's cut.

[Deejay]
