NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Saints quarterback Drew Brees has won an arbitration case involving the franchise tag. The arbitrator ruled with Brees in a dispute over how much the Saints would have to pay him if they applied the franchise tag to him in 2013.

If Brees were to agree to a new, multi-year contract, the issue would be moot.
