Right now? About $0.50 and a pack of Ding Dongs.

Ofcourse I was joking. When I say what ever he wants I believe 23 is not too much. Knock it down to 18 mil with a nice signing bonus.

14.4 million

manning is signed so the bar has been set. he should get a bit more than manning.

There are a few assumptions in this but....

Both Brees and Condom know what the Saints have left in the cap, they would be absolute bafoons to go after more.... Or he does not want to stay in New Orleans and would seek more to open doors to get out. (I doubt this is the case).

I saw another post in regards to having $3M left in cap space.

My gut on this (business transaction), is that this may be the very last contract signed before the start of the 2012 season, and Condom and drew are going to want the remaining cap space down the the 0.01. After all possibilities have been restructured, and every penny has been milked, that delta will be what is added on to his existing contract.

That is what I would do. This ensures you do not ask for more than can be afforded and you leave nothing on the table.

Mannings contract is moot.

Exactly, now just get it done.

Well played.
