Brees' contract wasn't the problem. Too much money tied up in Smith, Vilma and Harper was the problem.

Brees is the 4th highest paid QB, which is just about where he should be.

Here's where we screwed up...
2014 salaries
Some are still good players, but overpaid in my opinion.
Smith 13.9 million
Evans 11 million
Grubbs 9.1 million
Bunkley 6.1 million
Greer 5.8 million
Harper 5.8 million
Lofton 5.2 million
Moore 5 million
Sproles 4.5 million
