Sources: Drew Brees, Saints closing in on extension

The New Orleans Saints and quarterback Drew Brees are "relatively close" in negotiations for an extension, sources told ESPN's Ed Werder.

"It looks like something could get done," one source told Werder.

Sources told Werder on Monday the Saints and Brees' agent, Tom Condon, had resumed talks over a possible contract extension.

There has been dialogue between the two for approximately a week and an exchange of proposals in recent days. Brees, 37, has said he will not negotiate once the season begins Sunday with the Saints at home against the Oakland Raiders.
