Drew Brees' contract talks haven’t been going anywhere this offseason. But they won’t keep him off of the New Orleans Saints' practice field.
Brees told ESPN that he will participate in OTA practices when they kick off on Tuesday.
“I’m not missing any offseason,” Brees said.
That’s not surprising since Brees remains under contract through the 2016 season. But it’s still a positive sign that his lingering contract talks won’t become a major distraction this offseason.
Brees missed all of the Saints’ summer workouts in 2012, but he was unsigned under the franchise tag at the time.
