Saints quarterback Drew Brees doesn't expect contract negotiations with the team to become a problem, even if they drag on throughout the season. "I'm trying to compartmentalize it the best that I can," Brees said. "That's why I hired my agent. They all have a job to do. I'm hoping it will be done sooner rather than later, but for me really it's about focusing on winning games and trying for it to not be a distraction." Brees is in the final year of the six-year, $60 million contract he signed with the Saints as a free agent in 2006.
