Saints & Brees re-start contract negotiations

WillSaints81 · 09-05-2016, 12:25 PM

What was Brees annual cap number before this?

There's history against one era teams with one SB/elite playoff run. Just saying. We better be good beyond Brees whenever that is or we will only stay with our one ring.

$20M per year over the past 5 years, but you can't read this.

He averaged like 20 million per year on his current contract. His guaranteed money was actually on the lower end for QB's. I think he was near 40% guaranteed where as other QB's were in the 50-60% guaranteed range.

I might be the only one on here but I wouldn't sign Brees to a big contract at his age.

That's your opinion, you're entitled to it, not that I have to tell you that, lol.

I don't agree, but you're more than welcome to feel that way

Bree's has incredible work ethic, so his age doesn't bother me. Give him a good online and I bet you'd change your mind...

I agree about his work ethics, undeniable. But so is father time, undeniable. A 4yr contract puts him at 42 1/2 yrs. old. Payton is all about an aerial attack, stretching the field and so on, for Brees to play at even a decent level at that age would be more of a ground and pound O with short to intermediate passing game. I don't see it. I want be changing my mind wheather the Saints sign him to a big contract or not, but I will root for the Saints with or without Brees pulling the trigger even if I think it's a good move or not.

Father time is undeniable, but in today's NFL where the QBs are protected like they are, 42 isn't a bad age if he takes care of himself-which he does. We have no idea what level he'll be playing at 42,but until he shows some major regress, I feel no need to worry about father time. All he needs is some good protection. I do understand your concern and respect your opinion though. I do think that 4 yrs. should be max for him.
