At any time, the Saints could have torn up that deal and given him more money in those years to keep low the money they had to pay him in the future. They chose to milk the value of the depressed deal he had to sign when he left SD and then hope for goodwill when Drew signed his next contract. When looking at the big cap hits for 2015-16, one must remember that the deal only averaged out at 20/year which is the going rate for top QBs. Drew helped the Saints cap in the first three years of the deal by structuring it in a way to allow them to be able to sign a player like Grubbs or give Graham his money.
Wait, What Market?!? Herb, we got a fact check on Aisle Nine...

It was Miami, San Diego and New Orleans - that was it. And New Orleans offered the most money, guaranteed money...

Fact, it was a three team market and San Diego had Rivers, the Great Nick Sanboni and Dolphins lowballed and Loomis got rick-rolled by Condon...

Difference in ignorance vs stupid is choosing to believe some bio written by Brees' pressers that he wanted to help save New Orleans after Katrina out of some noblesse oblige...

So if anything, Brees could have returned the faith, as well as some salary cap, roster awareness, and signed for a little less to get Nicks et al done...

Choosing not to drink the Kool-aid, or not taking the blue pill or sucking off some tail-pipe fumes make you no less a fan...

Brees is here because we offered the most guaranteed money...
ScottF and dizzle88 like this.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
