That's alot of guaranteed money...

That doesn't sound bad. But I really wonder if something will really be done in the next few days. Maybe both sides want to get it done befeoe the season so they don't have all the distractions during the season.

I haven't looked into it but lets say his number drop big time this year or even next how much money will be be costing us in dead money if we cut him or have to move on from him?

Re: Saints & Brees re-start contract negotiations
 

He hasn't shown any drop off whatsoever to this point. He is in better physical condition than the average NFL QB ten years younger. He has no more likeliness to suddenly drop off as any other healthy QB and therefore no more risk.

Re: Saints & Brees re-start contract negotiations
 

That's the trend of the future. We all know that annual averages and total number figures on NFL contracts are for the most part nothing more than fluff. Even guarantees don't mean what they used to mean. There are now more conditional guarantees being written into contracts

The man brought us a Super bowl for cryin' out loud. His value is still high and should remain there for at least three years with even a steady decline as he gets older. He's a bargain at any price.

Unless you can parlay that $25 million + our current defenders into the 2000 Ravens defense, you don't have enough horsepower to sniff 6 wins...

True ^^^

Re: Saints & Brees re-start contract negotiations
 

With Brees - We have a legit shot at it all
Without Brees - Cleveland Browns

I think its a consensus that if you don't have an elite QB... NO SUPERBOWL FOR YOU!
