The Facts:
GM Mickey Loomis has no doubt about Drew Brees' future with the franchise. The same can't be said of RB Reggie Bush. While not offering specifics, Loomis said Wednesday that a contract extension will ultimately be finalized with Brees. "It's pretty clear that we're going to want to have Drew under contract for the long term," Loomis told Sirius NFL radio. "I know that will happen at some point. He knows that will happen at some point."

The Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XLIV is entering the final year of a six-year, $60 million deal he signed in 2006. Brees is set to earn $7.4 million in base salary in 2011. ... Loomis, though, didn't make the same strong commitment when asked about Bush. Although a big-name player and key part of the team's 2009 Super Bowl run, Bush is set to earn $11.8 million in 2011. He also is coming off an injury-plagued 2010 campaign. Complicating matters, however, is the fact Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory are both coming off recent surgeries. ... It's a situation worth watching in coming weeks.
