Re: Brees holds himself accountable for up-and-down 2012
As a side note, it is uncharted waters for such a small market team to have big market issues. Alex Rodriguez' $300 million 10 year deal dwarfs Brees', and all of it is guaranteed. The difference is ARod's performance (while remarkably bad since signing the deal) has a small correlative influence on the other 25 players on the team. Further, the $300 million contract does not prevent other quality players from being signed. ARod is nuked daily when he doesn't perform, despite the lack of correlated effect on the rest of the team. Brees, because of the correlation, should get a higher level of scrutiny.
In the latest round, in order to accommodate Brees' salary, we had to give up Meachem, Porter, and Nicks. We also had to restructure a number of contracts. For 2013, already $21 million over the cap, we are likely to lose another cohort of experienced players while simultaneously being unable to sign quality free agents. Sure, there may be the marginal player added, but Brees is one missed block from being a doorstop, and another lost season. |
