The Facts:
Contract discussions between the Saints and Brees are underway. It sounds like they are going well. “There is no doubt in my mind” a contract will get finalized, Brees said on the Dan Patrick Show Thursday. “It’s pretty straight up and should be done here in the next 4-5 weeks.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That falls into line with everything we've heard to this point. As
we reported last month, Brees said he would be "beyond stunned" if he and the New Orleans Saints don't come to an agreement on a contract extension during this offseason, echoing comments made by coach Sean Payton. Of course, getting a deal done with Brees will give the team more flexibility in
getting deals done with players like Marques Colston or Carl Nicks.
