Sorry, glad he's our quarterback, but Brees and Flacco got a little too greedy...

How is he too greedy? Almost half the QB's in the league have bigger contracts than Brees. He simply got what the market was willing to pay. Twenty-five, or more, other teams would have loved to have had Brees at those exact same numbers. This is a business and the players are businessmen first and foremost. Any QB stupid enough to sign a deal for less than their market value is an idiot and I certainly don't want an idiot at QB.

Brees and his contract have NEVER been an issue with the Saints success, or lack thereof.

Amen. Matt Ryan has a bigger contract than Drew. Nuff said...
