Drew Brees doesn't seem overly concerned about his looming deadline to land a long-term contract with the Saints. Brees said he is "very confident" that he will reach an agreement with the Saints prior to July 16. "I've always said, you would think this process should be a lot simpler than it is," the quarterback said. "It just always seems to be complicated. But I'm still very confident that we'll get a long-term deal done, and hopefully that will happen sooner than later." The Saints placed their exclusive-rights franchise tag on Brees earlier this offseason, and the two sides have until the July 16th to hammer out a long-term extension.
