In the midst of BountyGate, the Saints slapped Drew Brees with the franchise tag on Monday after failing to come to terms on a long-term deal.
Well, it didn’t sit too well with the record-setting quarterback, who was said to be “livid” shortly after receiving the designation.
Now it appears Brees is taking his unhappiness a step further.
Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune appeared on PFT Live Thursday, saying that he expects Brees not to sign the franchise tender, nor show up for offseason workouts next month.
Duncan, a longtime Saints beat reporter, also noted that Brees’ “team-first” image would be tarnished, and he could get “heat” from the rest of the club if he followed through with these intentions.
