He earned it. They knew they were going to one day have to pay him as soon as they saw what he did in 2006. Would you give up part of your salary so some guy further down the chain can get a raise? He doesn't owe us or the team anything but 100% effort

Dammit, another vote without a reply. Annoying!!!

The man played his way into his contract. He "should" play for less if he "wants" to play for less, and not for any other reason, and people who bash him for his contract need to slow their roll, in my opinion. I know if I'm in his shoes I squeeze every drop I can.

I am a brazilian fan of the Saints, and as a brazilian I also have a soccer team which I am a fan in my city, it is named Mineiro.

Here we have a few famous players such as Ronaldinho and he is a guy that sacrificed a salary of 12millions dollars for playing in our team and making "only" 3,5milllions. Just like him I can mention a few other players that did the same for playing in our team and the reason for that is because they love the fans, the city and there are things which are just priceless. Brees is a guy that gave so much for New Orleans, not just the Saints, but lets not forget he also got a lot from the fans.

There is no doubt he deserves making this kind of Money due to his game, but, if he wants to get a better shot for winning the superbowl and giving the city of New Orleans this gift, he must take a paycut. I couldnt disagree more on the idea that taking a 7 millions paycut when you already make 20 millions is a big deal.

Does he deserve the Money? Yes. Does he really need to get payed this high? No.

Boutte your poll is a little lop sided. Should he have signed for less and not crippled the team? Maybe. But, he can not take a pay cut now.....too much going on with his contract to even touch it until next year.

Good poit.

Let's not forget though that he played for a lot less than his market value for 5 years. He never mentioned it, never asked for a new contract. Let's see what happens in the future. He's only played under this contract for two years.
