Before I say what I'm gonna say on this subject, let me clarify a few things.

1. I love Drew Brees. I know he is the reason we are where we are as a team. There are plenty of other factors but none more important than him.

That being said I think the Saints are about to make Brees the highest paid qb in the league and I think it will strap them for years and years after he is done playing. It's dumb business to let other players set the market for what a superstar should be paid and then give in to the pressure and give your superstar more just to make a point that your guy is better!!!

The Saints waited for Manning to get his deal, which in my eyes was really no big deal. But right then is where I give Brees 7 years 100 million and make him a Saint for the rest of his life. They waited for the Eagles who have now said that all you actually need to do is be really talented to get 100 million dollars, not win anything!!!! Now the Saints have to are forced to make Drew better than Vick in pay. Meaning this contract is gonna be worth more than 100 million. It would have been an easier number for me to stomach had they made this commitment earlier. . Either way he has earned every freaking penny that he is about to get, but they should have been re - upped before this point. That contract is gonna make you throw up in your mouth a little when you hear the number 120 million to 130 million I think. Letting others who are not as good, set the market is just stupid ass business.
