I doubt they have really set their price, they are probably just saying that. I bet they just don't see anyone giving Brees 10 million a year, which is what he will get if they franchise him, so they'll wait for somebody else to offer him something then sign him if they think its worth it. Brees and his agent probably think they get more or a long term deal since hes has had 2 good years but nobody will do that because of what happened. Especially after this Chad Pennington stuff going on. Either way Chargers have a pretty good insurance plan in Rivers, he's never been a starter in the NFL but Carson Palmer wasn't a starter when he was named the starter either.
