The New Orleans Saints are in a bit of a bind entering the 2012 NFL offseason with three players who are franchise-tag candidates. The franchise tag will likely be used on quarterback Drew Brees if a long term deal can't be done. Saints free agent offensive lineman Carl Nicks hopes that the talks between Brees and the Saints go slow, because he doesn't want to get tagged.
