Report: Chargers might let Brees test free agency

Chris Mortensen reports the San Diego Chargers are wrestling with the idea of making Drew Brees an unrestrictive free agent perhaps gambling his shoulder surgery would have a chilling effect on interested teams.

Recently the Chargers made an initial contract offer to Brees. Should the Chargers elect to franchise Brees his 2006 salary as a franchise or transition player would be approximately $9.7 million.

Last year Brees threw for 3,576 yards and 24 touchdown passes. Over the past two seasons his passer rating of 96.1 ranks fifth in the NFL.

Tough call for the Chargers.

Are they condient that rivers can do as well. I wouldn't be!
 
You know, I was going to say that Brees has choked down the stretch the last couple years too, but the truth is they are playing Marty-ball, so it's to be expected.
 
I don't see the Chargers cutting Brees loose at all...I see them holding onto both QB's....cause you just never know if Brees is going to be a hundred percent from that injury when the season starts...and I don't see how they can be confident with Rivers when he really hasn't had enough of a chance yet to show what he can do.
 
Yeah, it's a tough call on Brees with his shoulder. That surgery, unlike knees, hasn't come along as quickly, but they're getting better and better at every surgery now. I expect he'll be alright.

I think he'll be allright too...eventually....I think that's what the Chargers are most concerned with...the time it's going to take....but I really don't see them letting go of either one of these guys.
 
I bet ya raiders will try to get brees to sign with the raiders:D
