The Saints are quite familiar with Burbank and have not had much success in dealing with him. He ruled against the club and in favor of Drew Brees in his arbitration in 2012. In that case, Burbank ruled it was Brees' second franchise tag, not his first. Thus, 2013 would've been the last time he could have been franchised. Ultimately, both sides reached an agreement that made Brees the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.
