The Facts:
The Chargers have made their initial offer for a long-term contract to Brees' agent, GM A.J. Smith confirmed yesterday. The team has yet to hear back from Tom Condon regarding the proposal, which was sent Monday. "I have no idea where it goes from here," Smith said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While no hard deadline is imminent, the Chargers and Brees likely have just a week's window remaining to reach a deal. Smith has said the team will decide whether to designate Brees a franchise or transition player a week before the Feb. 23 deadline to do so. Brees would become an unrestricted free agent if he is not designated one or the other.
