I hope it's not the case but maybe he's just gonna ride this one out and see what he can get after the season is over.

Drew won't repeat the mistake of playing out the final year of his contract like he did with San Diego. He's smart and an even shrewder business man than I gave him credit for. I am surprised with how he's held the Saints feet to the fire during contract negotiations. I expected him to be more of a team player which is a foolish thought for me to have. The man works hard for his money and deserves to be paid.

Unfortunately, if he wants to win it might be a smart business decision to leave some money in the pot so we can pay a few more winners to come in and bring home another Lombardi. I feel like his contract makes winning tougher with less talent around him.

Also, I would think that the endorsement deals would come faster on a winning team as well.

Don't get me wrong. Drew is the Savior and we would still be the Saints of old that couldn't enjoy a winning season much less a Super bowl Championship. I just wish he would take a few million dollars off the top and see the advantage of taking less but benefiting more.
