As for Brees, I believe he is going to sign a contract that is way out of our imagination. I have him pegged at a 7 year deal around 160 million.

It's not that simple with Bush. He has one more year remaining on his contract. I can't see the Saints cutting him out-right. Nobody is going to trade for him with a $11.5M hit with no guarantee of his renegotiating an acceptable deal. Bush has said he wants to remain a Saints and knows that Payton's offense is his best fit. He's made his money up front and would be better off re-working the current deal for a reasonable new deal with the Saints.

I think this is what will happen. I can see his new contract be back-loaded and with a lot of incentives. Nobody will pay him top dollars since he can't seem to stay healthy.

They're definitely bringing back Brees he's an elite quarterback obviously so they have no choice. Bush is a decent back, but not a number 1. They'll probably let him go
