Brees Tag Question
So this hearing on the 27th says whether he gets 16 or 23, right? And he's looking for 21 or so, but the difference in signing or not signing this year is 7 million. Is it possible that the probability he'll sign rests on that decision? If he gets the 23 for the tag, he'll sign and take the money he's been offered. Otherwise, he'll test the FA market and get exactly what he wants from who he wants like Peyton?
He'll get 20 for 5 under this current offer (we can only assume) which goes up to 100. If he gets 23, he can sign with another team for 21 next year giving him an additional 5 million on just his contract. But if its a 16 mil cap number, he takes the 20 and ends up with 100.
So to sum it up,
23 cap number, means he stays a franchise and plays for 23, then 5 at 21 like Peyton and Drew WILL get a 5 year contract from whoever wants him. And management options Total being 128 Million
To sign with us (in the case the 16 number is approved), he'd get 100 for one year less of play.
Is that too confusing?
