The Facts:
Brees was discussing his shoulder surgery and rehab during a conference call with San Diego reporters when he was asked if the team had told him anything about his future. "They want to pursue me long-term," Brees said from Birmingham, Ala. "I know that's something that for the next few months everybody's going to be working on. ... I know they want me long-term and I want to be here long-term."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
GM A.J. Smith, who's always tightlipped about player transactions, at first refused to confirm that he or anyone else from the front office told Brees that. A few hours later, Smith called reporters back to confirm what Brees said. "We are going to try to long-term him," Smith said. "We originally wanted to do this in early February, but I guess Drew was just answering the question honestly."
