Tom Condon: Saints seem satisfied with Drew Brees’ cap number

Cruize · 05-11-2016, 07:17 PM

I'm all for not kicking a lot of money on future cap years.

It's not really kicking the can down the road in this case. We will see a ton of cap relief next year. Paying Drew 20 million net year and 30 over the following 3 wont matter. It's about just getting the deal done at this point.

The 2017 free agent list is stacked.

Don't know which FA list you are looking at but there is only 3 QB's I would want starting for the Saints and one is Drew.

Or maybe that 3rd round pick last season is living up to Paytons liking.I would be careful paying a big contract to an aging qb.

It doesn't seem like getting him his money and not breaking the bank again should be that difficult.
Quarterback Contracts and Salaries | Over The Cap

the problem is that Brees and Condon aren't going to budge on whatever their # is, so the Saints are going to either pay it or move on. Brees and TC know this is his last deal, so 4 years $100m is not out of the question

I would be ok with 25 million a year. But I would like to see a 3 yr., 75 million. His contract would be up when he is 41. All records would belong to him if he stays healthy. Remember, we will have 31 million in cap relief next year even if Brees stays at 30 million a year.

I'd have more faith and confidence in the Payton offensive system than I do in an aging Brees...

Wouldn't pay more than 20 per...

Breaking all the passing records is nice for, him, but, what does it do for our Lombardi count?
