The Facts:
The Saints are expected to bring in Drew Brees for a visit today and tomorrow -- and they have emerged as the strongest contender to sign him, offering to guarantee more money than his other suitors, including the Dolphins and Lions. "I'm not going to have any comment about it," GM Mickey Loomis said when aksed about Brees, although he confirmed that the team is planning to part ways with long-time starting quarterback Aaron Brooks.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Loomis said there has not been much of a trade market for Brooks, who turns 30 this month, and the team most likely will release him. Brooks' large contract ($6.5 million in salary and bonuses this season and $7.5 million next season ) is a deterrent, as is the fact that most teams know Brooks will be released if he's not traded, so they can gamble on signing him as a free agent.
