New Orleans Saints owner sounds an upbeat note on re-signing Drew

First, how much is Payton Manning getting? Second, how much is Tom Brady making? Drew Brees has out performed both those QB's. Third, how much money is on the table from the Saints? Fourth, how much more than what's being offered is Drew asking for?

If the Saints are offering more money than Manning and Brady, then that's all they should offer unless it's like a dollar more. It should be at the very least 500K more and then it's all on Drew. Drew's a smart guy. He knows that if he goes elsewhere, he won't put up the numbers he's doing with the Saints. He may still pass that TD per game record but he also very well may not. We are trying to win another championship and we need to sign other players which we have done and now Drew's having a hissy fit cause we won't go 23mil ? That's just not feasible. Problem is, we don't know the numbers so we can't say anything, but we were the only team that really wanted Drew after his injury. Had we not signed him he wouldn't be where he is today, records and all. We stepped up and signed him again after the first contract which was high for what he had done up to that point and then he exploded. If we are offering more than the top QB in the game, take it or leave it. If Chase plays great this year, Drew's in trouble. Chase is younger and cheaper and if he lights it up, things will get interesting, maybe a trade?
