He works for Drew, so this is also about the $ in Drew's pocket.

For those saying Brees is worth every penny you have a valid point, I'm not questioning his worth to the Saints. Just don't complain if the defense can't stop anybody.

Exactly. GW held it together with gimmicks and decent FA pickups like Vilma and Sharper. We won't even be able to entertaint the possibilty of getting those caliber players. Spags is good but you need a few good to great players to make it work. He doesn't have those type of players.

Tom will be in this game longer than Drew. This is more about Tom's pocket and the pockets of his "yet to be drafted" players...

****ty side of the biz, but that's exactly what's at play here - precedent for contracts to come.

If that happens I doubt anyone will notice that our Defense is under preforming.

I don't think Tom gives a rat's @$$; case in point, look how Alex Smith got jobbed recently...

They couldn't last year man when he wasn't making as much money. Not sure that's valid
