Brees to Miss Training Camp if Long-Term Contract Falls Through

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="220" caption="Photo Courtesy of Wikipedia.org"][/caption].Reports emerged today that Drew Brees, the Saints' Superbowl-winning QB, will not report to this summer's training camp if a long-term deal is not struck with the team by July 16. Brees is reportedly seeking a 5-year deal earning $20.5 million per year: higher than the Saints' last offer of $19.25 million per year. Sports analysts are not surprised by the recent announcement as it has always loomed over the negotiations as something of a doomsday scenario. The prospect of starting training camp without a signed starting QB is expected to provide further leverage to Brees if an agreement is not reached beforehand. For more on this story, visit NOLA.com
