Source says Saints and Drew Brees have a "huge gap" to close in contract talks

I love Drew. Great player. Great guy. But, look at the Colts. They pay Payton $23 mil, who like Drew and Brady deserves it as much as anyone, and then they have to fill out the roster with some very average talent. If Payton doesn't play, they realistically might win 4 games this season. If Brees gets $23 mil, guys like Strief, Henderson, Rodgers, Franklin, Porter, and possibly W. Smith will not be Saints next year. They simply can't pay everybody. As much of a blessing Brees is to the Saints and New Orleans, paying him that much does have a downside. That being said, the deal will get done and it should. LOL.
