    New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees isn't tipping his hand about whether he'll attend the team's voluntary offseason program that starts Monday.

    Speaking at a news conference to promote his charity golf tournament, Brees repeatedly was asked if he'll show up Monday at the team's facility in Metairie, La.

    "We're continuing to work on a long-term deal," Brees told reporters at the La Costa Resort & Spa in California. When asked the same question several different ways, Brees responded with the same answer.

    The Saints placed the exclusive-rights franchise tag on Brees just before the start of free agency. The tag means Brees would earn about $16 million in 2012, but he has yet to sign the tender.
