If he signs a contract now he's an idiot. Brees is going to be a saint forever. He's not signing a contract. He's signing a retirement plan.
He needs to make sure when he's playing with the Saints 5 years from now at 38 that when he's making 18-20 million a year the new QB's are not making 20-25 million a year. Inflation and the details of how he will retire, meaning , does he decide? Is it a owner or coach decision ? His stats? , can he have a bad year?
Im sure the "contract " is very complicated, and its not all about money.
For all we know the hold up is that they won't let him decide when he wants to retire or some small detail like that. Maybe he wants and option to coach, who knows. I know he wants to live in NO, and raise his kids here.
In any event , after his last season he's not going to get a better chance to bargain than right now. He'll hold out to the last possible moment , then sign.
I guarantee it. Brees will always be a Saint.
