I don't think he makes it to the end of the contract.

They may renegotiate for a more friendly cap number.

Late to the party. Probably answered. The signing bonus is spread out over the length of the contract. So the $37 million is spread out at $7.4 million per year. There's $3 in base the first year. So that's $10.4 million. The rest is the other guaranteed dollars which are also spread over the life of the contract.
I love Drew as much as anybody, but I hope we didn't just shackle our financial flexibility to a QB who will be 39 in the final year of his contract.
Drew will never get to the end of this contract. If he's still productive by year 4, it'll be restructured. If not then the Saints and Drew part ways with services rendered. That's why the structure of the contract, which virtually guarantees $55 million to be paid out in the first three year was crucial to get straight.

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.

And that being said.... It seems... After all..... Drew Brees did something that was good for the team, and the city of New Orleans. The contract is full of salary cap relief, and "outs" for the team..... I would not be completely surprised if a good % of the reason this drug out was to get the contract structuring right... This is one of the most complex structures I have seen, and both parties share the risk for the total price but also have the outs...

I don't think he should ever be doubted again.
