Again, with Drew Brees...

Brees is better than Manning and Brady and both of them have been paid. Don't understand why this isn't done yet. The Saints are a great team with great players, but Brees is the catalyst running it.

I have a question.....

Where does Sean Payton and Loomis fit in to the Saints winning and record breaking?

Has the Saints offered Brees comparable terms to Brady (and Manning et al)?

Ultimately, the Saints have to get the balance right.
They could decide to pay Brees so much that he rest of the team is compromised. Great. Brees now gets his monetary reward.
Or the Saints could offer a very decent amount and look to strengthen areas around Brees to have, on balance, a better team. Is Brees still able getting his monetary reward?

Seems to me, that is the sticking point from the Saints fans. The fans who love the Saints and love what Brees has done for the Saints but have little comprehension of really what is a contract of value.

All I know is that Brees has been terrific. Sure Brees won us many, many, many games. But it still requires a cog here and there to make that wheel go round. Without those cogs, even superman Brees cannot win games. It hasn't been a fluke that we got beat in the playoffs over the last 2 years. We have to ensure the rest of the team is good enough.

The bottom line is that it doesn't matter if they do or don't sign Brees because you guys will still be here posting and I'll still be reading.

I agree with SaintGup.
The Saints need to JUST PAY THE MAN!!!
Pay Brees his worth for just two years, two years max.
2012-2013
2013-2014
Pay him.
He has earned his worth.
He should be paid his worth which is in the same figure amount, more/less, of his fellow qb's.

You do realize Brees wants a Long term contract. He realizes he's getting older and he wants something locked in. I'm guessing he wouldn't sign a 2 year contract. Also whats up with this 2 year stuff?
He's 33 and Brett Favre played.... wait I'll stop there
