Drew Brees has yet to warm up to the idea of signing his franchise tag with the Saints as he continues to hope for a long-term contract. "I've played under the franchise tag before, back in 2005, and that ended with 13 anchors in my right shoulder and a 25 percent chance of playing football again," Brees told ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on Wednesday. "That didn't work out too well for me. I've talked to the Saints about this many times. They definitely know my desire to have a long-term deal, and hopefully they want me to have that as well. We will continue discussions and hopefully get a long-term deal done."
