Should Drew Play for Less $$ ?

Utah_Saint · 02-02-2014, 03:19 PM

To me, the question isn't that simple.

Just my opinion, but Drew deserves his contract, it is fair market value and more than half the league would be tripping over themselves to make offers if the Saints didn't. The Saints built their offense around his talents.

That being said, his contract does reduce the amount of money the team has to spend on other players and when one player receives 1/6 of the total salary for a 53 man roster, that player will always be brought up when discussing free agent possibilities. I even pointed out the irony of Drew dancing on the desk saying he wanted Jimmy back, when the issue is how much can we spend on him.

Why don't you feel that Brees deserves his contract?
