Agreed.
Brees is calculating and manipulative when it comes to money. He missed games last year for the first time in a while, and he knows his recovery time is growing. He is not going to risk $50 million by heading into this year without a deal and taking a chance at an injury.

As for the comparison to Denver in the article...we have an Osweiler hiding somewhere? Also, Manning was hurt then benched. Not exactly the same as leading the league in passing. Brees had more TD's in weeks 8-9 than Manning had for the whole season

Manning also had several neck surgeries. He has fused vertebrae. That's the reason he fell off a cliff.

Calculating and manipulative? Show me a real documented example of this behavior from Brees. I can buy calculating because Brees is very astute, but manipulative? I just don't buy that. You can tell a lot about a person by reading their autobiography and following them closely for over a decade. Manipulative is the antitheses of what I know of Brees. He is as straight forward and honest as a person can be based upon what I have seen and read and based upon what others that know him well have said about him.
