Re: Report: Saints have reworked Brees's contract to free up nearly $24M
The 24ml was non guaranteed 2021 Salary wasn't it?
The rest was signing bonus that was already paid but the Saints are just putting it through the books as Post June 1st. The league wouldn't let him drop his salary to manipulate the cap. It means nothing to Drew other than his retirement papers go through on June 1st. Sorry am i missing something here Drew hasn't written off money has he? |

A lot of what he doesn't have isn't because of the Saints, it is because he was a Saint. Maybe we don't point fingers as no one in that organization is free of having a hand in the outcome of out seasons. There is a cap and everyone wants to get paid. |
