A win-win contract extension would make sense for Saints, Drew Brees

ScottF · 12-31-2014, 07:13 AM

The eternal salary cap question is 'If you pay a star a ton of money, how can you have enough to pay your support players'? (see Bushrod, Jermon)

My question has always been 'How much is enough'? Brees has earned $125 million in salary alone. He earned $40m in 2012 (as some of us look at the final paycheck of the year, just know that DB was making $109,000 per day)

we will soon learn if Brees wants to win in his final years, or if he wants to fatten the nest egg

A. Bushrod has stunk it up in Chicago, and we replaced him with Armstead
B. Brees is like the 4th or 5th highest paid QB in the league now. That contract is a relative bargain.
C. You really think Brees doesn't care about winning and would rather just make more money? GTFO. Some of you people need your heads examined.

A. Bushrod was solid for us and was in the Pro Bowl. He was actually replaced by Brown while Armstead was inactive for 13 games

B. Brees is also the 4th or 5th best QB, so how exactly is that a bargain?

C. How do you know what his priorities are? Again, he has made $125 million in his career, and ended up getting every penny he asked for when he held out in 2012. This is a man who is going to get his money

But those 3 or 4 ahead of him do not have the security he does with that contract. he has a 99% chance of collecting every penny the others do not.

just ask kapa=puck in san fran. niners have a huge bail out every year built in.

i bet he will have a 10% chance he will get 75% of that contract

that is the difference
