To sum it up, let's hope Brees stay's upright. 
I was thinking along the lines, and correct me if I'm wrong because I really didn't follow the Manning situation that close, that Indy was trying to release/not sign Peyton so as to avoid paying him a huge chunk of change in his contract, something like $55 million? Drew's deal looked to me like they worked it out to avoid a situation like that ... one good thing about the Indy situation, Detroit's got 'em on the schedule,  .
