Rivers signed a 6 year extension worth 92M during the off season.

Drew's original contract with the Bolts was from 2001 to 2004... then he signed a one year extension into 2005. I can't remember the value, I'll have to research... but I know his one year extension was 8M.

Wow. For that he better be in the MVP race. Thanks for the info. No need for the Bree's numbers. I was just wondering how much the Chargers saved when they let Drew go.

Sure thing. I haven't found the value of Drew's original contract with the Chargers yet but I found something interesting...
After the 2005 season, the Chargers offered Brees a 5-year, $50 million contract that paid $2 million in base salary the first year and the rest heavily based on performance incentives. Brees took the incentive-based offer as a sign of no confidence by the Chargers and promptly demanded the type of money a top 5 "franchise" quarterback would receive.

I know wikipedia isn't the most accurate but I do remember that the Chargers wanted him to return.

Bump...I want to make sure all the Charger threads are kept right up at the top. Maybe if I do this long enough people will get tired of this guy posting all this SD garbage.

Personally, I would prefer to see the son of NO's favorite son going against our Saints then Freaky Fill-up Rivers.

this is very much saints stuff. Bolt is just starting the crying when drew wins MVP. it is a heads up for us and will give us time to get our one liners ready for the cry babies. LOL

Both are solid. Right now i have to give it to Rivers over the past 6 games. He has played better than other QB in the NFL. BUT Drew is the man leading the saints to the promise land the saints have never gotten this much press. So if this is the year for Drew it looks pretty good. Now we need the Colts to fall.

As for Bolt posting here I am all for it. Even if the bolts site refused to let join. LOL There is a mod input.

LOL. There's no crying in football. Besides, if Brees wins it... that's cool cause I like him.
I prefer Payton does not win it cause I hate the Ponies.

As for the other comments.... yes, this article is about Rivers but what is that topic? Rivers gaining ground on Drew's lead of MVP.

People who said they were refused... Bolt Talk won't refuse you, cause we have fans of different teams in there... though Retard and Donkey fans stay out due to embarrassment.

Who cares if it is about Rivers?

If this board is going to become one where folks are afraid to post something because it was posted already, might not be completely relevant, isn't in the "correct" forum, etc etc and other board members are going to call them out for doing it then it has no reason to exist.

We already have a Saints board for that sort of behavior.

When I go to a bar and a fan wants to talk about his team, I don't ask him to go someplace else. My wife and I sat with Cowboy fans we didn't know at Woodrow's for the Cowboys game. We invited them to sit there.

We enjoyed it.
