METAIRIE, La. -- There is still no reason to fear that Drew Brees will suddenly reverse course and decide to leave the New Orleans Saints for a bigger offer elsewhere this week.
His contract talks with the Saints are expected to pick up steam on Monday morning. And the really important deadline doesn’t come until 4 p.m. ET Wednesday.
But the two sides are cutting things a little close.
Brees’ agent, Tom Condon, can legally begin discussing his client with other teams as of noon ET Monday.
