How much is Brees worth?

Brandon428 · 03-25-2012, 03:23 PM

Drew Brees is just a man,another QB will come out of the draft one day and beat all his records just like Drew beat a lot of records set by “great” QBs that came before him. This is a business first and foremost and the goal is to win championships now and years from now! If we give Drew the moon we can’t afford to have a great team and it has been proven time and time again that a great TEAM wins championships,not a great PLAYER. I know it sounds like blasphemy,but Brees can be replaced and he needs to realize that $18M is a lot of freaking money to throw a ball around. That being said for the record I love Drew Brees,I wear his jersey every game but no 1 player is worth $23M/year and in this economy to ask for such a high salary is absurd to me.

I think we finish building our defense and and tie up a few odds and ends here and there and then see where we’re at financially and if we can I think we should offer a $100M 6 year deal at $20/M for the first 4 years and 10 for the last 2 or $20/M for the fist 3 years and 13.3 for the last 3. I’d give him those 2 options with the assumption that he would take the first option and maybe feel like he’s getting a good deal. I think that would work for both sides.

Agree with almost all of this post.

I do think Drew should be paid exactly what he's worth, and the market and negotiations will set that number.

I am disappointed at how its being portrayed by media and fans.
