Pay Brees!

I'm not willing to morgage the farm at his age, not at all. I'm not sure the Saints are either.

There are ways to pay Brees and not mortgage the farm.

Drew Brees is going to get a deal and he is going to get 25 mil a year...

You don't have to be. You won't be paying for him. Some of you act like these players are payed with tax dollars.

Think what some are concerned for is dead, guaranteed money against the salary cap in years he may not play...

For those of you in your twenties and thirties, especially those who are feeling their oats in their late thirties - they dry up quick...

Drew may honestly feel he can continue to do this another four years, those older know better...

Have no problem paying him major dinero year-year; that way, if he's still elite, he gets his, if not, he leaves and the team isn't hampered with dead money...

But I think we'd all agree, especially after these past two seasons, we don't want big contracts with empty lockers...

They can structure it in a way that is cap friendly. For all we know he knows he only has a couple years left and wants the security of a big signing bonus and guaranteed money. Playing year to year is too much of a risk and would be moronic on his part. Especially given his age.

I'm older, much older, and I have no doubt Brees can play out another four year contract at a high level. You see, I may be pushin' sixty, but I am not so stuck in the past that I base the physical capability of an athlete in 2016 based upon 1980 standards. Try joining the twenty-first century. You may enjoy it.

Yeah, because you and Drew are studs and aging stopped in 2000...

no because aging is not the same now as 40 years ago. the science and nutrition is better. The rules make for less wear and tear, especially for qb's.

Yeah, okay, and we haven't seen sacks like this in forty years; did that hurt? Don't worry, Drew, have a Snickers...

And I'll remind y'all, Brees, who never misses games, missed a game last season...What's the over/under this season?

Look, he's paid, the cap hit is done and there's absolutely no need to do an extension until after a detailed evaluation of the upcoming season can be done...
