Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Agent Tom Condon, who represents Brees, and Loomis have been seeking to resolve a salary difference of approximately $2 million per year. The two sides resumed a dialogue early this week after a long period of relative silence. Differences still remain over guaranteed money, among other details. Brees has been seeking an average salary in the $20.3 million range, and has provided mechanisms for the Saints to lower his salary cap number during the contract term, sources said. Meanwhile, if he plays for the franchise tender, he'll count the full $16.371 million against the cap.
