Fan sets up Drew Brees fund

Look we are all poor compared to these standards. I just think this it is about money structure and long term security. It may be about greed but why should not Brees get the same respect and security of say a Michael Vick whom I Ihate? So who is really at fault here? May be noone at fault just a hard deal to make. They used the horse to run the race and could have fixed this before now. My opinion is they should not have made him play out his contract and got this done before it came to thia.

They DID try and get this done before last season....he turned the offer down. When they were trying to continue to negotiate during the 2011-2012 season....he had the negotions stopped until the offseason....so its not ALL on the Saints FO, Brees/Condon are share the blame for the hold up as well......

It may be about "respect", but it certainly isn't about security. Someone who isn't secure on £21m per year won't be secure on £23m either.

I do hope you're wrong about those numbers, since £21m to £23m would be $32M to $35M.
