Brees critical of Saints in radio interview

Posted: Updated:
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -

Drew Brees says he's frustrated by a lack of communication with the New Orleans Saints in his ongoing contract negotiations and believes the club should show more urgency to get a long-term deal done.

In an interview with WWL radio in New Orleans on Wednesday night, Brees says he's extremely frustrated that he still is not signed and could miss the Saints' first organized off season practices next week.

While Brees says he wants to return as soon as possible, he raises the possibility of missing mini camp in June and even training camp if he hasn't received a long-term extension that he believes is appropriate.

Brees says his negotiating position is reasonable and that the bounty scandal has made this off season a very important one for the Saints.
