The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... Brees said Tuesday he's "confident" a long-term contract will be worked out with the team. We've heard this for months -- and so have the fans -- but Brees took things one step further in a subsequent conversation with ESPN. "I would never sit out a football season," Brees said on "Outside the Lines."

Brees added: "I love this game too much, I love my team too much, but obviously there's a lot that can happen between now and then, so let's just hope we can get a long-term deal done ... Over the last month, (talks have) picked up. There was a dry spell there for a bit." And now apparently there isn't. As we've mentioned over and over and over and over: This deal will get done when both sides feel a true sense of urgency to get it done. There is a July 17 deadline after which Brees must play for the franchise tender. There seems to be a growing belief the sense of urgency will hit both sides and a long-term deal will get done in advance of that date. ... Stay tuned.
