Saints Place Tag On Drew Brees
Sep 19, 2014 11:06 PM
The Saints have placed their exclusive-rights franchise tag on quarterback Drew Brees, the team confirmed Saturday.
The Saints were unable to agree to a long-term deal with Brees and didn't want to risk losing him in free agency.
The franchise tag for a quarterback currently carries a $14.4M salary cap hit, but the number could increase later this spring when the quarterback cap numbers are re-evaluated.
