New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis submitted a revised contract proposal to Drew Brees' representatives Thursday in an attempt to break the deadlocked negotiations with the Super Bowl-winning quarterback, according to a source close to the discussions. It is not known how much Loomis improved the team's previous offer or whether it will prove to be acceptable to Brees and his representatives, who are believed to be evaluating it. The Saints on Thursday completed mandatory minicamp that Brees was forced to miss since he is unsigned and has not accepted the franchise tender. Source: Ed Werder, ESPN.com
