Plaxico Burress Predicts Drew Brees to the Redskins

by Kevin Ewoldt on Feb 4, 2012 10:29 AM EST in NFL Free Agents

Hey! I found a picture of a QB celebrating at Fedex Field.

Via 1067 THE FAN, specifically the Lavar and Dukes show, Plaxico Burress had quite the prediction:

"I have a strange prediction for what I believe is going to happen." Burress said. "I believe that Drew Brees is going to land in Washington."

Chad Dukes asked why he thought this...

"To test the free agent market. I think he's done enough for that organization where they should have signed him during the season. We all know Dan Snyder likes to spend a little bread. I don't know why, but that''s how I feel."

A few things about Brees. He's not a money sucking guy that goes to the top bidder. There's loyalty there. Just two weeks ago, Brees told the Associated Press he would be "beyond stunned" if he and the Saints don't reach an agreement on a contract extension. In addition, Brees is completely ingrained in New Orleans, including the Brees Dream foundation to help NO children. (one of about four I saw from a quick Google search). Oh yeah, and the Redskins stink with no WR weapons.

So, here are a few things I think are more likely to happen than Brees signing with D.C. (feel free to add your own in the comments):

The Pope renounces Catholicism and converts to Islam.

Jerry Jones publicly announces he will no longer have any plastic surgeries.
Bob Kraft relegates Bill Belichick's duties and hires Vinny Cerrato as Director of Player Pro Personnel.
Albert Haynesworth goes 7 months without a lawsuit.
Paris Hilton vows and succeeds with abstinence.
I stay sober during the Super Bowl.

Jeff George signs a 1 year deal worth 5 million

I really do think Jeff george will be back before Brees ever signs here.

We should look at every option

I mean it.

By the way

Shanny has made a couple comments about how getting a Franchise QB is hard and that not everyone knew Brees would work out so well (IOW NO got lucky). I think he definitely has an eye on Brees.

I agree that it might be hard to get him, even with the possibility of NO tagging him. That said, we do have a lot of cap space to play with and if NO decided to user their cap elsewhere, taking Drew for us would be an upgrade over Rex.

brees over manning any day

Ok for one, Brees is a money-grubbing dick face.

Lest we forget, he was leading the charge of player doucheness during the lockout.

I see it as more cushion for the pushin'

I logged in specifically to question your sanity on this one...

how the fuck were the players being “money-grubbing dick face(s)”? The league locked the NFLPA out. It wasn’t like the players were intractable and completely ignored any attempts at a compromise? Let me guess, you aren’t a union man yourself, are you?

the other players will like him for that?

srsly…that’s “unity”

I know first hand this will not happen

During the lockout my wife and I saw Brees, Saturday and a few other players in a DC restaurant (Fogo De Chao) as they were leaving I said to Brees "feel free to sign a contract with the Redskins while he was in town. He and Jeff laughed out loud as he patted me on my shoulder and walked out.

STOP

playing with my emotions. As a redskin fan they are fragile enough as it is.

So if we sign Brees and Manning

We can just switch them off from game to game and have the most unstoppable offense ever. It would just take half of our cap. But who needs other players when you have Brees and Manning at QB.
