Ryan Tannehill makes 750,000 less than drew per year on the average of their contracts...r u absolutely kidding me

25 million per year for four years would be a ****ing bargain.

No he won't. Drew doesn't need to sign for a lot less money. We have as much as his salary in dead money and he is currently the 10th highest paid QB in the NFL, so why would he need to take a lot less money in order to stay with the team?

"If he hits FA he will get a 2 or 3 year deal that will be totally skewed to the signing team. Drew has always said he wants to stay in New Orleans. PROVE IT!"

No he won't, he'll get 22-25m per year. What do you base this fallacy on?

"If after all is said and done Drew plays hardball with the team and city that took him in when no one else would then he deserves to end his career getting beat up in Cleveland."

Hardball, what is hardball in terms of money ?
