The Saints backloaded the last year of the contract, then added another $2.6 million to the last year in a restructure.
He is certainly not making more than other QBs this year. It's just that their contracts are newer so the big cap hits haven't started yet. SFIAH |

Re: Looks like the Norman situation opened some issues with Brees?
We didn't jump on Norman because he wanted big guaranteed money
See what that did with Byrd You can't blame Brees' cap for mostly terrible drafting pre 2015 and bad FA moves (Byrd, Spiller, Browner, etc) dead money from Junior and Jimmy Graham. Hopefully Fleener works out but we overpaid him. We did get Armstead, Cooks, Anthony and Kikaha to build on in the draft and Breaux looks to have a lot of walk on potential |

My big problem with Kikahaha is will not be a every down starter.
