I'd say it's doubtful for this year, since the ink on his new contract is still wet, but I think when Brees gets further along to that point in the timeline of his contract, down the road, I think it's an almost absolute certainty that something like that WILL happen. The possibilities have probably already been sketched out by Brees and his agent, or Loomis, in their heads, even as a part of structuring his last deal... I'm sure all parties were already thinking one and two steps ahead.

Those $26 and $27 million cap spikes at the end of the Brees deal seemed artificially high to me, like they were forcing it in there.

Brady's "old" cap number this year would have been at $21.8 million, and that is not really all THAT far from Brees' projected $26.4M in 2015 type numbers, especially if you consider it in terms of an "arc" of the contract, or where they were in the timeline of the contract. We shall see.
