My personal opinion is that Brees will sign a long term deal before July 15. He obviously wants to, and the Saints will need a positive PR move after this bounty situation sorts itself out.
As for the bounty stuff, the Saints front office seems to be adamant that they did not ignore the order to stop the practices. The owner is standing by his GM, etc. If that is the case that it was not continued after the warning, then I think the punishments will be less severe. They'll be more focused on Gregg Williams, Jonathan Vilma, etc. rather than franchise crushing penalties. I guess we'll see.
