"New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has reportedly agreed to join a high-profile list of plaintiffs if the NFL's players choose to file an antitrust suit against the league. Several media outlets, including ESPN, have reported that Brees will join Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Patriots guard Logan Mankins as named plaintiffs in the class-action suit, if it comes to that. There would be nine named plaintiffs, according to ESPN.

The players union has not taken steps toward decertification and a possible lawsuit yet, though, as the players and owners have agreed to a 24-hour extension in their labor talks."
